Data from Example 7

A projectile is fired vertically upward from the ground with a velocity of 38 m/s. Its distance above the ground is given by s = -4.9t + 38t, where s is the distance (in m) and t is the time (in s). Graph the function, and from the graph determine (1) when the projectile will hit the ground, (2) how long it takes to reach 45 m above the ground, and (3) the maximum height of the projectile. 1. To find when the projectile hits the ground, we set the height s = 0 and then solve for t. This results in the equation -4.9t + 38t = 0. Graphically, this is the x-intercept of the function y = -4.9t2 + 38t, which can be found using the zero feature on a calculator. The solution is t = 7.76 s as shown in Fig. 7.18(a). 2. To find when the projectile is 45 m above the ground, we can use the intersect feature to find the points of intersection between the given function and the hori- zontal line y = 45. There are two solutions: t = 1.46 s and t = 6.30 s. The first of these solutions is shown in Fig. 7.18(b). 3. The maximum height occurs at the vertex, which can be found using the maxi- mum feature on a calculator. From Fig. 7.18(c), we see that the maximum height is 73.7 m, which occurs after 3.88 s.
