Derivatives and Physics

A text is thrown vertically upward and its position over time is modeled by the function s(t) = -16t^2 + 20t + 6. The questions ask to determine: when the text reaches its highest point, the maximum height, its acceleration at any time t, how long it is in the air, when it is speeding up or slowing down, and its velocity upon impacting the ground.

Learning Activity 14

MthSc 105

A MthSc 106 Text is thrown vertically upward. The distance s (in feet) of the text above the ground is s = f(t) = 16t2 + 20t + 6, where t is the number of seconds elapsed from the moment the text is thrown. 1. When will the text reach its highest point?

2. What is the maximum height the text reaches?

3. What is the acceleration of the text at any time t?

4. How long is the text in the air?

5. When is the text speeding up? When is it slowing down?

6. What is the velocity of the text upon impact?
