The height h, in feet, of a projectile t seconds after launch is modeled by the equation h = 32t β 16t2. how long after launch does the projectile return to the ground? 2 seconds4 seconds14 seconds16 seconds
Accepted Solution
A:
dy/dx h = 32t - 16t^2 v = 32 - 32t at Max hight speed is 0m/s therefore
0 = 32 - 32t t = 32/32 = 1 s
so it goes up to Max hieght in 1 s and it takes another 1s to come back thus time after launch to return to ground is 2s!
