Question

Neglecting air resistance, the upward velocity of the water in the stream of a particular fountain is given by the formula v=32t+28, where t is the number of seconds after the water leaves the fountain. While going upward, the water slows down until at the top of the stream, the water has a velocity of 0 feet per second. How long does it take a droplet of water to reach the maximum height?

Solution

The correct option is C 0.875 seconds
Given, v=32t+28
It is mentioned that at the maximum height, the velocity of water is 0 feet per second.
Therefore, final velocity (v)=0.
0=32t+28
32t=28
t=2832=0.875 seconds
