Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. The velocity (positive means down) of a pumpkin thrown off the top of Cheadle ha
ll t seconds after launch is 32???? ft/sec (until it hits the ground). (a) What is the average rate of change of velocity between ????=1 and ????=2? 1.5 feet per second per second (b) What is the average rate of change of velocity between ????=1 and ????=1.1? feet per second per second (c) If the pumpkin lands after 2.5 seconds, what is the speed of the pumpkin when it hits? feet per second

The kinetic energy K = 0.5 * m * v² must be equal to the potential energy U = m * g * h.
m mass
v velocity
h height
g = 9.81m/s²
The mass m cancels out:
0.5 * v² = g * h
Solve for height h and transform to distance traveled.
(sin (4°) = height / distance)
m mass
v velocity
h height
g = 9.81m/s²
The mass m cancels out:
0.5 * v² = g * h
Solve for height h and transform to distance traveled.
