Problem 1

Above the surface of the earth, an object that is thrown downward toward the earth
with an initial velocity of
will increase its velocity due to gravity at an accelerated
rate of
for every second.
The shorthand form that describes the velocity of this object
at some time t is
.
This function v(t) is graphed below for the initial velocity v(0)=2m/s and for the acceleration a=9.8m/s/s.
(Note: at time t=0s the velocity v(0) = 2m/s and at time t=2s the velocity v(2) = 21.6m/s as shown to
the left on the vertical axis).
Check several values of time t to find the corresponding v(t) on the left axis.
