For this exercise, use the position function s(t) = -4.9t + 360, which gives the height (in meters) of an object that has fallen for t seconds from a height of 360 meters. The velocity at time t = a seconds is given by s(a) - s(t) lim t-a a - t When will the object hit the ground? At what velocity, v, will the object impact the ground? t = V = m/s

Question

When will the object hit the ground? At what velocity, v, will the object impact the ground?

For this exercise, use the position function s(t) = -4.9t + 360, which gives the height (in meters) of an object that has fallen for t seconds from a height of 360 meters. The velocity at time
t = a seconds is given by
s(a) - s(t)
lim
t-a
a - t
When will the object hit the ground? At what velocity, v, will the object impact the ground?
t =
V =
m/s
