An arrow is shot vertically up into the air with an initial vertical velocity of 60 m/s, and its height is given by h=-5t2+60t where h is in meters and t is in seconds. How high does the arrow go? How long does the arrow stay in flight?
At time t = 0 seconds, a diver jumps from a platform diving board that is 32 feet above the water. The initial velocity of the diver is 16 feet per second. When does the diver hit the water? What is the diver’s velocity at impact?
A projectile is launched from ground level with initial velocity of v0 feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, its height in feet t seconds after launch is given by s=-16t^2*v0t. Find the time that the projectile will reach a height of 192 feet and return to the ground when v0=112 feet per second
