Calculus Physics problem (4 part)

  1. 1) Projectile is fired upwards with initial velocity of 96 ft/s from a tower 256 ft high.

    How long to reach the max height?
    • s(t)= -16t²+96t+256
    • v(t)= -32t+96=0

    t= 3 seconds
  2. 2) Projectile is fired upwards with initial velocity of 96 ft/s from a tower 256 ft high.

    What is the maximum height?
    s(3)= -16(3)²+96(3)+256

    s(3)= 400 ft
  3. 3) Projectile is fired upwards with initial velocity of 96 ft/s from a tower 256 ft high.

    How long will it take the projectile to reach its starting height on the way down?
    • -16t²+96t+256=256
    • -16t²+96t=0
    • -16t(t-6)=0
    • t=0  and t=6

    0 or 6 seconds
  4. 4) Projectile is fired upwards with initial velocity of 96 ft/s from a tower 256 ft high.

    What is the velocity when it passes the starting point on the way down.
    -32(6)+96

    =-96 ft/s
