Question

A silver dollar is dropped from the top of a building that is 1362 ft tall.

Determine the position and velocity functions for the coin and average velocity on the interval [1,2]

Answer 1

acceleration is g
V(t) = Vi -at (Vi is zero so just -at)
h(t) = initial height - 1/2*a*t^2

average velocity is just the distance traveled between t=1 and t=2 ( h(2) -h(1) )divided by 2-1
