Chapter 3: Problem 24
Suppose a stone is thrown vertically upward from the edge of a cliff on Earth with an initial velocity of \(19.6 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) from a height of \(24.5 \mathrm{m}\) above the ground. The height (in meters) of the stone above the ground \(t\) seconds after it is thrown is \(s(t)=-4.9 t^{2}+19.6 t+24.5\) a. Determine the velocity \(v\) of the stone after \(t\) seconds. b. When does the stone reach its highest point? c. What is the height of the stone at the highest point? d. When does the stone strike the ground? e. With what velocity does the stone strike the ground? f. On what intervals is the speed increasing?
