With what velocity will a stone strike the ground if dropped from the top of the building 400 ft high?Solve by integration. \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "h(t) = -16t^2 + vo*t + ho is commonly used with feet units (vo = initial speed, ho = initial height) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "h(t) = -16t^2 + 400 \n" ); document.write( "h(t) = 0 at impact \n" ); document.write( "-16t^2 + 400 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "t = 5 seconds (Ignore the -5) \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "v = a*t = 32*5 \n" ); document.write( "v at impact = 160 ft/sec \n" ); document.write( "============================= \n" ); document.write( "There's nothing to integrate. \n" ); document.write( " |
