A snowboarder’s velocity is tracked by a pulse-laser velocimeter as she descends the slope. These velocity data are stored and analyzed via an embedded curve fitting procedure to determine a velocity function of v(t) = 1.5t2 + 2t + 2 (t is time in seconds and v is velocity in ft/s). At time equal 0, position (x) is zero. Find her position (e.g., distance traveled), velocity and acceleration formulations and values of each when time equals 15 seconds. Clearly write the formulas before finding respective values at t = 15 seconds!

Its height y(t) is given by y(t) = vot - 791² (1) Calculate: (a) The time at which the ball hits the ground.

Think about their units and how you might construct the output using the inputs, just by matching units). Solve the problem exactly. Verify that the scaling analysis gives you (almost) the correct answer. (b) The times at which the ball reaches the height v/(4g). Use the quadratic formula.
