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 .
