The height of an object moving vertically is given by
s(t) = -16t^2+60t+112 where s is measured in feet and t is measured in seconds.
Find the objects velocity when t=0
---
Velocity at time = t is the derivative of "s":
s'(t) = -32t+60
s'(0) = 60 ft/sec
------------------------
find its maximum hight and when it occurs
Max height occurs when t = -b/(2a) = -60/(-32) = 1.875 sec
s(1.875) = 168.25 ft.
===============================
Find the velocity when s=0
When s = 0 the object will be on the groud.
Its velocity will be zero.
---------------------------------
