Concept explainers
Throwing a stone Suppose a stone is thrown vertically upward from the edge of a cliff on Earth with an initial velocity of 32 ft/s from a height of 48 ft above the ground. The height (in feet) of the stone above the ground t seconds after it is thrown is
- a. Determine the velocity v of the stone after t seconds
- b. When does the stone reach its highest point?
- c. What is the height of the stone at the highest point?
- d. When does the stone strike the ground?
- e. With what velocity does the stone strike the ground?
- f. On what intervals is the speed increasing?

- A Skydiver When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, his downward velocity, in feet per second, before he opens his parachute, is given by v=1761-0.834t, where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since he jumped from the airplane. What is the velocity after 5 seconds?arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardAn arrow is shot from the ground into the air at an initial speed of 108 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the arrow will be 180 feet from the ground. Round the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forward
