A ball is thrown vertically upwards from a height of 10 ft with an initial velocity of 30 ft per second. How high will the ball go? Note that the acceleration of the ball is given by a(t)= -32 feet per second per second.
Added by Gregorio R.
Step 1
Given: \(v_i = 30 \, \text{ft/s}\) (initial velocity) \(a = -32 \, \text{ft/s}^2\) (acceleration due to gravity) \(v_f = 0\) (final velocity at highest point) Plugging in the values: \(0 = 30^2 + 2(-32)s\) \(0 = 900 - 64s\) \(64s = 900\) \(s = Show more…

A ball is thrown straight upward from the top of $a=$ building with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. The equation $s=-16 t^{2}+32 t+48$ gives the height $s$ of the ball in feet $t$ seconds after it is thrown. Find the maximum height reached by the ball and the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground.
