An object is dropped from a tower, 400 ft above the ground. the object's height above ground t seconds after the fall is s(t)equals400 minus 16 t squared. determine the velocity and acceleration of the object the moment it reaches the ground. the velocity of the object the moment it reaches the ground is nothing ft/s.

v= 160ft/s

a=32ft/s^2 constant

Explanation:

s(t)=400-16t^2 derivative of position is velocity v(t) and derivative of velocity is acceleration a(t) so let s(t)=0 to find the time of flight to reach the ground and take the two derivatives and use the time found and solve. Also acceleration is a constant as it’s gravity.

0=400-16t^2

400=16t^2

25=t^2

t=5s

ds/dt=v(t)=0-32t

dv/dt=a(t)=-32 constant(gravity)

v(t)=-32(5s)= -160ft/s negative sign is only showing direction

the answer is false

explanation:

hi i’m sorry to call us today so we will get back with y’all and we will have to do it haha omg was the day
