If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 42 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y = 42t − 16t2. Find the velocity when t = 1.

Respuesta :

[tex]\bf y=42t-16t^2\implies \left. \cfrac{dy}{dt}=42-32t \right|_{t=1}\implies 42-32\implies 10[/tex]

The velocity when t = 1 is 10ft/s.

Given that,

  • The ball is thrown into the air having the velocity of 42 ft/s.
  • And, the height after t seconds should be y = 42t - 16t^2.
  • And, t = 1.

Based on the above information, the velocity should be

v(t)=dy(t) ÷ dt

= d(42t - 16t^2) ÷ dt

= 42 - 32t

Since t=1

So, the velocity should be  

v = 42 - 32 × 1

= 10ft/s

Therefore we can conclude that the velocity when t = 1 is 10ft/s.
