Use a(t) = -9.8 meters per second per second as the acceleration due to gravity. (Neglect air resistance.) A canyon is 1700 meters deep at its deepest point. A rock is dropped from the rim above this point. How long will it take the rock to hit the canyon floor? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) sec d Heln2

For two decades, teams sought a connection between the Flint Ridge cave system and Mammoth cave in Kentucky. When the connection was finally discovered, the combined system was declared the world’s largest cave (more than 200 km long). The team that found the connection had to crawl, climb and squirm through countless passages, traveling a net 2.6 km westward, 3.9 km southward, and 25 km upward. What was their displacement from start to finish?
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.)
