A person standing at the edge of a cliff throws a rock upward from a height of 350ft above ground level with an initial velocity of 65⁢ft/s. What is the velocity of impact when the rock reaches the bottom of the cliff? Round any intermediate calculations, if needed, to no less than six decimal places, and round your final answer to two decimal places. (Hint: Use h(t)=−16t2+65t+350 as the position function, where hh is in feet, tt in seconds. Ignore air resistance.)
The height of an object thrown upward with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second is given by the formula h = −16t2 + 96t, where t is the time in seconds. a) How long will it take the object to reach a height of 144 feet? b) How long will it take the object to return to the point of departure?
