80
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for the first one?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah 80 ft/s
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The initial speed is equal to the speed the ball would reach if dropped from 100 feet.
so I used the position function but not the one that uses meters, instead the one that uses ft, so 16t^2+v(t)+h
Same thing as last problem. So you find how long it takes to drop from 100 feet.
16t^2=100
then you use that t and plug it in to the velocity function
v(t) = 32(t)

so for the second question is 3200?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got
OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks though
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea I know how they got it now...do you want to know?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i used the vertex formula to get the time when it reaches the maximum height
-b/2a so -80/2(-2.5) = 16
plug in 16 into the position function
-2.5t^2+80t so -2.5(16)^2+80(16)=640
