MHB Mechanics- general motion in a straight line.

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the motion of a ball bearing fired vertically upwards through a tub of butter, with a focus on calculating various aspects of its motion. The upward velocity is defined by the equation v=13-10t-3t^2 cm/s, and participants are asked to determine when the ball bearing comes to rest and how far it travels upwards at that point. The downward motion is described by the equation v=10T cm/s, and the challenge lies in calculating the time taken for the ball bearing to fall back to its original position after it momentarily stops. There is confusion regarding the integration process needed to solve for the time in part (c). Clarification is sought on how to correctly set up and solve the integral equation related to the downward motion.

I calculated q(a)=1s
q(b)=7cm
I don't understand q(c)

Apologies.
A ball bearing is fired vertically upwards in a straight line through a tub of butter. The upward velocity of the ball bearing is given by v=13-10t-3t^2 cm/s, where t is the time from when it was fired upwards.
a) Find the time when the ball bearing comes momentarily to rest
b) Find how far the ball bearing has traveled upwards at this time

The ball bearing then falls downwards through the hole it has made in the butter. The downward velocity of the ball bearing is given by v= 10T cm/s, where T is the time from when it was momentarily at rest.
C) Find the time that the ball bearing takes ( from when it was momentarily at rest) to fall to its original position.
Iam not understand how to calculate (c)
 
$\displaystyle \int_0^t 10T \, dT = 7$

solve for $t$

Thank you very much!
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
