Question
Hi, can i get help with this question parts a-d, with work please thank you.
A ball is thrown vertically upwards and its height above the ground is given by
s(t) = 1.2 + 28.1t – 4.9t² metres.
At what distance above the ground was the throw released?
ds
b Find s'(t) (i.e., ) and state what it represents.
c Find t when s'(t) = 0. What is the significance of this result?
d What is the maximum height reached by the ball?
e Find the ball's speed: i
when released
ii
at t = 2 sec
iii
at t= 5 sec
State the significance of the sign of the derivative.
f How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground?
d?s
g What is the significance of
dt2
