An object at the top of a building with height 110 feet is thrown upward with an initial speed of 23 ft/s. Find its position z(t) above the ground t seconds after being thrown. (Use g 32 ft/sec2.)

z(t) = ___

Find the time, in seconds, it takes for the object to hit the ground.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Height of building is [tex]h=110\ ft[/tex]

Initial upward velocity [tex]u=23\ ft/s[/tex]

height of object is given by

[tex]z(t)=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

but building is already at a height of 110 ft so z(t) must be given by

[tex]Z(t)=ut+\frac{1}{2}(-g)t^2+110[/tex]

[tex]Z(t)=23\times t-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2[/tex]

[tex]Z(t)=-16t^2+23t+110[/tex]

Time when it hits is given by when Z(t)=0[/tex]

[tex]-16t^2+23t+110=0[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{-23\pm \sqrt{(23)^2-4\times (-16)\times 110}}{2\times (-16)}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{-23\pm 87}{-32}[/tex]

[tex]t=3.43\ s[/tex]

An object at the top of a building with height 110 feet is thrown upward with an initial speed of 23 ft/s, its position

t = 3.43s above the ground.

Given :  

                    [tex]\rm u = 23 ft\\ h = 110 ft[/tex]  where,

  • h = Height of building.
  • u = initial upward velocity.

Height of object is given by,

              [tex]\rm z(t) = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

But given height of building = 110 ft so, z(t) will be solved by

                   [tex]\rm z(t) = ut + \dfrac{}{}(-g)t^2+110\\\\\rm z(t)= 23 \times t -\dfrac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times t^2\\\\\rm z(t)=-16t^2+23t+110\\[/tex]

Time when the hits is given by z(t)=0[/tex]

                [tex]\rm -16t^2=23t+110=0\\\\t=\dfrac{-23\pm\sqrt{(23)^2-4\times(-16)\times 110} }{2\times(-16)}\\\\t=\dfrac{-23\pm 87}{32}\\\\t= 3.43 s[/tex]

Therfore, its position t = 3.43s above the ground .
