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 22 feet/second-22 \text{ feet/second}. We are tasked with:

  1. Finding its velocity after 3 seconds.
  2. Finding its velocity after falling 108 feet.

The position function is given as:

s(t)=16t2+v0t+s0s(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + s_0

Where:

  • v0=22 ft/sv_0 = -22 \text{ ft/s} (initial velocity),
  • s0=220 feets_0 = 220 \text{ feet} (initial height),
  • The acceleration due to gravity is approximated as 16 ft/s2-16 \text{ ft/s}^2.

(a) Velocity after 3 seconds:

The velocity function v(t)v(t) is the derivative of the position function s(t)s(t):

v(t)=dsdt=32t+v0v(t) = \frac{ds}{dt} = -32t + v_0

Substitute v0=22v_0 = -22:

v(t)=32t22v(t) = -32t - 22

Now, find the velocity at t=3t = 3:

v(3)=32(3)22=9622=118 ft/sv(3) = -32(3) - 22 = -96 - 22 = -118 \text{ ft/s}

So, after 3 seconds, the velocity of the ball is 118 ft/s-118 \text{ ft/s}.

(b) Velocity after falling 108 feet:

To find the time when the ball has fallen 108 feet, we need to solve for tt when the ball’s height is 220108=112220 - 108 = 112 feet:

s(t)=16t222t+220s(t) = -16t^2 - 22t + 220

Set s(t)=112s(t) = 112:

16t222t+220=112-16t^2 - 22t + 220 = 112 16t222t+108=0-16t^2 - 22t + 108 = 0

Use the quadratic formula:

t=(22)±(22)24(16)(108)2(16)t = \frac{-(-22) \pm \sqrt{(-22)^2 - 4(-16)(108)}}{2(-16)} t=22±484+691232=22±739632=22±8632t = \frac{22 \pm \sqrt{484 + 6912}}{-32} = \frac{22 \pm \sqrt{7396}}{-32} = \frac{22 \pm 86}{-32}

Taking the positive root (since time cannot be negative):

t=22+8632=108323.375 secondst = \frac{22 + 86}{-32} = \frac{108}{-32} \approx -3.375 \text{ seconds}

This value seems incorrect. We'll adjust this part after looking into the other problem step-by-step.
