Question 205110: The path of a falling object is given by the function where represents the initial velocity in ft/sec and represents the initial height. The variable t is time in seconds, and s is the height of the object in feet.
a) If a rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second from the top of a 40-foot building, write the height equation using this information.
b) After how many seconds will the rock reach maximum height? Show all work.
c) What is the maximum height? Show all work. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
