Chapter 11.2, Problem 30PE

(a)

To determine

An expression for the nth term which represents the velocity after $n$ seconds when the vertical acceleration of an object dropped from rest from the airplane is $32\text{ft}/{\text{sec}}^{\text{2}}$ with the assumption of negligible air resistance.

(b)

To determine

The vertical velocity after 1 sec after release and 5 sec after release when the vertical acceleration of an object dropped from rest from the airplane is $32\text{ft}/{\text{sec}}^{\text{2}}$ with the assumption of negligible air resistance.
