The height of a projectile t seconds after it is launched straight up in the air is given by f (t )equals negative 16 t squared plus 238 t plus 3. Find its acceleration at 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Instant Acceleration

The kinetic magnitudes are usually related as scalar or vector equations. By doing so, we are assuming the acceleration is constant over time. But when the acceleration is variable, the relations are in the form of calculus equations, specifically using derivatives and/or integrals.

Let f(t) be the distance traveled by an object as a function of the time t. The instant speed v(t) is defined as:

And the acceleration is

Or equivalently

The given height of a projectile is

Let's compute the speed

And the acceleration

It's a constant value regardless of the time t, thus

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
