Question

Transcribed Image Text:8. If a space shuttle's downward acceleration is given by y"(t) = -32 ft/s², find the
position function y(t). Assume that the shuttle's initial velocity is y'(0) = -100 ft/s
and that its initial position is y(0) = 100,000 ft. Use the position function to find the
position of the shuttle after 5 seconds.
