Question

An object is dropped straight down from a helicopter... (check image)

Please find an upper estimate for speed when t = 8

and then find the lower estimate for speed when t = 8

and lastly find an upper estimate for distance fallen when t = 3.

An object is dropped straight down from a helicopter. The object falls faster and faster but its acceleration (rate of change of its velocity) decreases over time because of air resistance. The acceleration is measured in ft/sec and recorded every second after the drop for 8 sec, as shown. Find the following estimates.
