From Pre-Calc it is known that the height of an object thrown upwards with an initial velocity of vo meters per second from a height of so meters off the ground is given by the function: s (t) = -4.9 t + vot + so, where s (t) is the height of the object after t-seconds. Find the impact velocity of a rock that was thrown upwards at 14 meters per second from a stand that is 7 meters tall. Use values close to the time of impact to approximate the slope of the secant to the time of impact. How long until the object hits the ground? 3.29 O s. Nearest 100th of a second

Question
What is the approximate velocity of the object when it strikes the ground?
From Pre-Calc it is known that the height of an object thrown upwards with an initial velocity of vo meters per
second from a height of so meters off the ground is given by the function:
s (t) = -4.9 t + vot +
where s (t) is the height of the object after t-seconds.
Find the impact velocity of a rock that was thrown upwards at 14 meters per second from a stand that is 7 meters
tall. Use values close to the time of impact to approximate the slope of the secant to the time of impact.
How long until the object hits the ground? 3.29
O s.
Nearest 100th of a second
One way to approximate the slope of the secant lines best approximation is to choose one value before (like 0.01
less) and one value more (like 0.01 more), find the slopes of the two secants and average the answers. Try that
technique to find this answer.
