We are standing on the top of a 1040 feet tall building and launch a small object upward. The object's
height, measured in feet, after t seconds is h(t) =
16t? + 128t + 1040.
A) What is the object initial velocity?
ft/second
B) What is the highest point that the object reaches?
feet
A. Without finding T and N. write the acceleration of the motion a(t) to
the position vector r(t) = (t*)t + (t+ )s+ (t-) k
in the form a(t) = a, T+ ax N at the value of t 1.

My question isn't how to solve the problem exactly. In fact, it's already been solved on this website. My question is about the acceleration. When I solve this problem myself, first I calculate the velocity by dividing 100m by 53s. I get 1.89m/s. Then I use that to find the acceleration using the equation vf = vi + at. That's 1.89/53 = 0.036m/s^2.
That's not correct. The correct way to find the acceleration is to us the equation d = 1/2 at^2 and solve that way without taking the intermediate step of finding the velocity. Doing it that way, the acceleration is 0.0712m/s^2.
My question is why you get a different result doing it the first way than you get doing it the second way.
