Asilver dollar is dropped from the top of a building that is 1344 feet tall. use the position function below for free-falling objects. s(t) = -16t^(2) + v0t + s0

(a) determine the position and velocity functions for the coin. s(t)= v(t)=

(b) determine the average velocity on the interval [3,4]. = ft/s

(c) find the instantaneous velocities when t = 3 s and t = 4 s. v(3)= v(4)=

(d) find the time required for the coin to reach the ground level. t=

(e) find the velocity of the coin at impact. vf =/s

a. position function of the coin:

    Now the velocity function:

b.

c.        &  

d.

e.

Explanation:

Given:

Given position function associated with free falling objects:

here:

initial height

initial velocity

time of observation

a)

position function of the coin:

∵the object is dropped it was initially at rest

Now the velocity function:

b)

we know average velocity is given as:

Displacement in the given interval:

Now,

c)

Instantaneous velocity at t = 3 s:

Instantaneous velocity at t = 4 s:

d)

At ground we  have s=0:

Put this in position function:

e)

Velocity of the coin at impact:

the first american roller coaster was the mauch chunk switchback railway, built in the mountains of pennsylvania in the mid-1800s. the track, originally built to send coal to a railway, was reconfigured as a "scenic tour."

a sonic boom is a loud boom that breaks the sound barrier
