The total distance of the object
is
.
Where time
is measured in seconds and initial velocity
is measured in feet per second.
(a)
\The object is thrown straight down from a height of
.
The time taken by the object is
.
Find the initial velocity of the object .
\Substitute
and
in
.





.
Therefore, the object is thrown straight down hence the initial velocity of the object is
.
(b)
\Find the average velocity of the object.
\The average velocity of the object is
.
.
Therefore, the object is thrown straight down hence the average velocity of the object is
.
(c)
\Find the object velocity when it is hit the ground.
\The object velocity is
.
The function is
.






Substitute
.
.
Therefore, the velocity of the object when it is hit the ground is
.
(a) The object is thrown straight down hence the initial velocity of the object is
.
(b) The object is thrown straight down hence the average velocity of the object is
.
(c) The velocity of the object when it is hit the ground is
.
