Concept explainers
A football is kicked with an upward velocity of
where h is the ball’s height at time t, y is the initial upward velocity, and c is the stalling height. What is the height when the time is 1 second? How does the height change as the time increases? What happens at 5 seconds?
To find : the height changes as the time increases
Answer to Problem 4STP
As time increases, the height increases rapidly
Explanation of Solution
Given information : A football is kicked with an upward velocity of
Calculation :
Substitute
As time increases, the height increases rapidly to maximum height then decreases rapidly to
Negative height in this case does not make sense but it means that the ball is already at the ground
