Question

Transcribed Image Text:2. A rock is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s
from a bridge that is 25 meters above a river bed. Based on Newton's
Laws of motion, the height of the rock (above the river) t seconds
after being launched is given by:
h(t) = -5t² + 20 t + 25 meters.
(a) Determine the exact time, tr, at which the rock hits the river by solving the equation
h (t) = 0 for t.
(b) Sketch a graph of y = h (t) for 0≤t≤t seconds.
(c) Using your graph from (b), deduce the maximum height attained by the rock above
the river.
(d) Determine the average velocity of the rock, Ah, from time t = 1 to t = 2 seconds.
Does this value overestimate or underestimate the instantaneous velocity of the
rock at time t = 1 second? Explain your reasoning.
(e) The instantaneous velocity of the rock at time t = 1 second is given by h'(1),
where

Evaluate this limit quotient to find the speed of the rock at time t = 1 second.
Express your answer in units of both m/s and ft/s. (1 meter≈ 3.28 feet)
