- 3. In Physics, the height of a free-falling object at a given time t is given by h = –16t² + v,t + h., where v, is the initial velocity, and h, is the initial height. A student throws a ball upward from a height of 48ft, initially at 32 ft/s. What is the maximum height of the ball?arrow_forwardA thoughtful person on a bridge reflecting on his awesome Physics class sees a small stone by his feet. Hmm, he thought to himself. Using his foot he slowly nudged the stone off the surface of the bridge and using his cell phone he timed how long it took to hit the water, about 1.75 s. How high (m) is the bridge above the water?

The roof is angled at 29 degrees with the horizontal. The roof is made of a frictionless material. The box travels 5 m down the roof and then leaves the edge of it 12 m above the ground. a). Figure out the box's velocity as it leaves the house's roof? b). How far from the base of the house does the box hit the ground? c). By how much does the box clear the yard fence which is 1.8m tall and located 6.7m away from the base of the house? I TOOLS 5m 29° 12 m 1.8m 6-7m ENGLarrow_forward
