Motion with gravity Consider the following descriptions of the vertical motion of an object subject only to the acceleration due to gravity. Begin with the acceleration equation a(t) = v′ (t) = –g, where g = 9.8 m/s2.
a. Find the velocity of the object for all relevant times.
b. Find the position of the object for all relevant times.
c. Find the time when the object reaches its highest point. What is the height?
d. Find the time when the object strikes the ground.
110. A payload is dropped at an elevation of 400 m from a hot-air balloon that is descending at a rate of 10 m/s.

If the problem can be solved using precalculus, solve it. If the problem seems to require calculus, use a graphical or numerical approach to estimate the solution. STEP 1: Consider the figure in part (a). Since this region is simply a triangle, you may use precalculus methods to solve this part of the problem. First determine the height of the triangle and the length of the triangle's base. height 4 units units base 5 STEP 2: Compute the area of the triangle by employing a formula from precalculus, thus finding the area of the shaded region in part (a). 10 square units STEP 3: Consider the figure in part (b). Since this region is defined by a complicated curve, the problem seems to require calculus. Find an approximation of the shaded region by using a graphical approach.
