1.Assuming a constant rate of acceleration due to gravity of 32 feet per second per
second, find the initial velocity needed to launch a projectile from the surface of the
earth to a height of 900 feet.

2. Suppose that the probability distribution function for customers waiting to be
seated at a certain restaurant on a certain evening has the form f(t) = ce^-ct for
t > 0, where c = 1/10 is the reciprocal of the average waiting time in minutes. Find
the time T such that exactly 5% of customers wait longer than T minutes to be
seated. Round your answer to the nearest minute.

For problem #1

What are the equation that combine the acceleration, intial velocity, final velocity and the distance travelled?

For problem 2 - what is that ��? Please fix it and show your work.

Please share your work with us, indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we may know where to begin to help you.
 
Please do not post exercises with no questions asked. Before we can determine where to begin helping you, we need to know something about your progress.

What have you thought about or tried thus far? What is your background?
