Example 5
A window washer drops a wet sponge from a height of 64 feet. After how many seconds does the sponge land on the ground?
FALLING OBJECT
Solve a vertical motion problem
SOLUTION
Use the vertical motion model to write an equation for the height h (in feet) of the sponge as a function of the time t (in seconds) after it is dropped.Because the sponge was dropped, it has no initialvertical velocity. To determine when the sponge lands on the ground, find the value of t for which the height is 0.
