I NEED CALCULUS HELP!! PLEASE!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 104 ft/s. What is the height of the cliff?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thnks!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess you are supposed to use \[h(t)=-16t^2+h_0\] for your equation of height. you know that the initial velocity was 0 because it was dropped. you also know that it hits the ground when \[t=\frac{\sqrt{h_0}}{16}\] and that \[-32t=-104\] for that value of t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo there it should be it hits the ground when \[t=\frac{\sqrt{h_0}}{4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it hits the ground when \[t=3.25\] and use that to solve for \[h_0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks I got it!!!
