amistre64 · Answer

-16t^2 + Vt = 98

-16t^2 + Vt -98 = 0

amistre64 · Answer

hmmmm

anonymous · Answer

is that one of the answers?

amistre64 · Answer

this is a study group right?

amistre64 · Answer

its a thought i have as to what an answer might be, but i havent got to the end of the thought yet

amistre64 · Answer

the derivative of that position formula tells us the speed, the velocity, at any given moment

amistre64 · Answer

so when it is at 0 we know that is the least amount of velocity needed to hit the ceiling

anonymous · Answer

im sorry i just have no idea what to do for this problem any ideas help

amistre64 · Answer

-16t^2 + Vt -98 = 0

-32t + V = 0 when t = V/32 .... so we could sub that back in to "t" to see if that helps out with the V

anonymous · Answer

so which answer goes with a, b, and c? hahaha

amistre64 · Answer

when we solve this for V we only got one good option:  56sqrt(2) i beleive

amistre64 · Answer

I believe a is 56sqrt(2); but id have to dbl chk it with the wolf

anonymous · Answer

the 56th square root of 2?

amistre64 · Answer

no, 56 times the sqrt(2)

amistre64 · Answer

b and c are physics parts that i am not familiar with

amistre64 · Answer

good luck with the rest of it, or if you have any questions about part a let me know

anonymous · Answer

wow a was right thank you so much

amistre64 · Answer

yay!!  lol

anonymous · Answer

haha thanks so much

anonymous · Answer

can you solve it for 105 feet by any chance?
