Use the position equation given below, where s represents the height of the object (in feet),
v0
represents the initial velocity of the object (in feet per second),
s0
represents the initial height of the object (in feet), and t represents the time (in seconds), as the model for the problem.
s = −16t2 + v0t + s0
You drop an object from the top of the CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario. The tower has a height of 1815 feet.
(a) Use the position equation to write a mathematical model for the height of the object.
