Chapter 3 Problem 72

Question

Suppose two balls are falling from rest at a certain height in centimeters above the ground. Use the equation s " 490t 2 to answer the following questions. (a) How long does it take the balls to fall the first 160 cm? What is their average velocity for the period? $ 4 7 $ sec; 280 cm/sec (b) How fast are the balls falling when they reach the 160-cm mark? What is their acceleration then?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 3 problem number 72 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Suppose two balls are falling from rest at a certain height in centimeters above the ground. Use the equation s " 490t 2 to answer the following questions. (a) How long does it take the balls to fall the first 160 cm? What is their average velocity for the period? $ 4 7 $ sec; 280 cm/sec (b) How fast are the balls falling when they reach the 160-cm mark? What is their acceleration then?
From the textbook chapter Derivatives you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
