Math Problem Statement
can you solve 94, 95, & 96 and provide step by step to get the answers
Solution
Let's break down the problems one by one and solve them step by step:
Problem 94:
A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a 220-foot building with an initial velocity of . We are tasked with:
- Finding its velocity after 3 seconds.
- Finding its velocity after falling 108 feet.
The position function is given as:
Where:
- (initial velocity),
- (initial height),
- The acceleration due to gravity is approximated as .
(a) Velocity after 3 seconds:
The velocity function is the derivative of the position function :
Substitute :
Now, find the velocity at :
So, after 3 seconds, the velocity of the ball is .
(b) Velocity after falling 108 feet:
To find the time when the ball has fallen 108 feet, we need to solve for when the ball’s height is feet:
Set :
Use the quadratic formula:
Taking the positive root (since time cannot be negative):
This value seems incorrect. We'll adjust this part after looking into the other problem step-by-step.
