a stone is thrown vertically up with a velocity of 20m/s.
\n" ); document.write( "determine
\n" ); document.write( "A. the maximum height of the ball will reach to
\n" ); document.write( "B. the time of flight of the ball
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "What ball? A stone was thrown??
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "You didn't give a function, so I'll use this one.
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming the ball/stone starts at a height of zero:
\n" ); document.write( "h(t) = -4.9t^2 + 20t + 0
\n" ); document.write( "A. the maximum height of the ball will reach
\n" ); document.write( "That's the vertex of the parabola, at t = -b/2a
\n" ); document.write( "t = -20/-9.8
\n" ); document.write( "t = 100/49 seconds, ~ 2.041 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "h(100/49) = -4.9*(100/49)^2 + 20*100/49
\n" ); document.write( "=~ 20.408 meters
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "B. the time of flight of the ball
\n" ); document.write( "It's 2x the time in A, same time falling as ascending.
\n" ); document.write( "= 200/49 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "=~ 4.082 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
