A stone thrown vertically on Mars. Suppose a stone is thrown vertically upward from the edge of a cliff on Mars (where the acceleration due to gravity is only about 12 ft/s^2) with an initial velocity of 64 ft/s from a height of 192 ft above the ground. The height S of the stone above the ground after t seconds is given by s=-6t^2+64t+192 a. Determine the velocity v of the stone after t seconds b. When does the stone...

a rock is thrown upward from a bridge into a river below. the function f(t)=-16t2+32t+94 determines the height of the rock above the surface of the water (in feet) in terms of the number of seconds t since the rock was thrown. (A) what is the bridges height above water? (B) how many seconds after being thrown does the rock hit the water? (C) how many seconds after being thrown does the rock reach its maximum height above the water?...

An osprey drops a fish from an unknown height above the water. The osprey was flying at 12 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees below the horizontal at the moment the fish dropped from its grasp as shown in Figure 5. 2.5 seconds later the fish hits the water. The choice of a coordinate system is arbitrary, but for this problem use the coordinate system shown with the y axis going vertically upward and the x axis with the...
