We are given a velocity equation, and from that, we want to find the initial velocity such that we know the velocity for a given time.
We will see that the initial velocity is 124 ft/s
-------------------------------
Let's see how to solve this:
We have that the velocity equation:
v(t) = v₀ - (32 ft/s^2)*t
Where I added the units of the gravitational acceleration, which are in ft over seconds squared.
We want to get the value of the initial velocity, v₀, given that after 3 seconds the velocity is 28ft/s.
This means that:
v(3s) = 28 ft/s = v₀ - (32 ft/s^2)*3s
We can solve this for v₀:
28 ft/s = v₀ - (32 ft/s^2)*3s
28 ft/s + (32 ft/s^2)*3s = v₀
124 ft/s = v₀
So we can see that the initial velocity is 124 ft/s
