Height of a Ball Let s(t) be the height (in feet) after t seconds of a ball thrown straight up into the air. Match each question with the proper solution.

Questions

A. What is the velocity of the ball after 3 seconds?


B. When is the velocity 3 feet per second?


C. What is the average velocity during the first 3 seconds?


D. When is the ball 3 feet above the ground?


E. When does the ball hit the ground?


F. How high is the ball after 3 seconds?


G. How far did the ball travel during the first 3 seconds?

Solutions

a. Set s(t) = 0 and solve for t.

b. Compute s(3).

c. Compute s(3).

d. Set s(t) = 3 and solve for t.

e. Find a value of a for which s(a) = 3.

f. Compute [s(3) s(0)]/3.

g. Compute s(3) s(0).
