Concept explainers
Motion in a gravitational field An object is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity v(0) = v0 from an initial position s(0) = s0.
a. For the following values of v0 and s0, find the position and velocity functions for all times at which the object is above the ground.
b. Find the time at which the highest point of the trajectory is reached and the height of the object at that time.

- Change the function y=3(0.5)x to one having e as the base.arrow_forwardIf you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.arrow_forward
