Use the position function s(t) = 4.9t 2 + v 0 t + s 0 for free-falling
Question:
Use the position function s(t) = −4.9t2 + v0t + s0 for free-falling objects. 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 t = 2 and t = 5.
(d) Find the time required for the rock to reach the surface of the water.
(e) Find the velocity of the rock at impact.
