Vertical Motion In Exercises 97 and 98, use the position function
A rock is dropped from the edge of a cliff that is 214 meters above water.
(a) Determine the position and velocity functions for the rock.
(b) Determine the average velocity on the interval [2, 5].
(c) Find the instantaneous velocities when
(d) Find the time required for the rock to reach the surface of the water.

- 2- f t² cost dtarrow_forwardW A person's Body Mass Index is I H² where W is the body weight (in kilograms) and H is the body height (in meters). A child has weight W = 39 kg and height H = 1.3 m. Use the linear approximation to estimate the change in I if (W, H) changes to (40, 1.31). (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.) ΔΙ~arrow_forwardA model rocket is fired vertically upward from rest. Its acceleration for the first three seconds is a(t) = 90t, at which time the fuel is exhausted and it becomes a freely "falling" body. Eighteen seconds later, the rocket's parachute opens, and the (downward) velocity slows linearly to -11 ft/s in 5 seconds. The rocket then "floats" to the ground at that rate. (a) Determine the position function s and the velocity function v (for all times t). 4512 if 0 sts 3 405 if 3 26 15r3 if 0 sts 3 405 if 3 26arrow_forward

Use your Excel Template or least squares fitting table from the previous lecture to answer the following questions. Carry at least two extra decimal places through all statistical calculations, and round appropriately when expressing the final results. %3D Find N-2 mx, Select one: O a. 0.0209 O b. 0.0109 O c. 0.0409 O d. 0.0309 O e. none of thesearrow_forwardIn dynamics, v=ds/dt (velocity) and a=dv/dt (acceleration) are called equations of motion where the distance s is a function of time t.
