If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 37 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y = 37t − 16t2. Find the velocity when t = 1.

Question

Answer in ____ ft/s

Answer 1

Given acceleration of gravity = -32 ft/sec/sec, upward velocity will be 5 ft/sec after one second.  37 - 32 = 5.
