Assume the acceleration of the object is a(t) = −32 feet per second per second. (Neglect air resistance.) With what initial velocity must an object be thrown upward (from ground level) to reach the top of a national monument (560 feet)? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

[tex]v_i=189.315ft/s[/tex]

Explanation:

We are going to use the accelerated motion formula [tex]v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad[/tex] on the vertical component taking the upwards direction as positive.

Since at maximum height the speed will be [tex]v_f=0m/s[/tex], the formula can be written as [tex]v_i=\sqrt{-2ad}[/tex], which for our values is:

[tex]v_i=\sqrt{-2(-32ft/s^2)(560ft)}=189.314553059ft/s=189.315ft/s[/tex]

Written to three decimal places.

The initial velocity at which the object must be thrown upwards is; u = 189.31 ft/s

To solve this, we will use Newton's third equation of motion which is;

v² = u² + 2as

Where;

v is final velocity

u is initial velocity

a is acceleration

s is distance

In projectiles, the speed at the highest point which is the top of the monument here is usually 0.

Thus; v = 0 ft/s

We are given;

a = -32 ft/s

a = -32 ft/ss = 560 ft

Thus, Plugging in the relevant values into the equation gives;

0² = u² + 2(-32 × 560)

0 = u² - 35840

u² = 35840

u = √35840

u = 189.31 ft/s
