loadMacros(

  'MathObjects.pl',

);

TEXT(beginproblem());

Initialization: We load parserNumberWithUnits.pl and parserFormulaWithUnits.pl. 

Context('Numeric')->variables->are(t=>'Real');

$h = Formula('-16 t^2 + 16');
$v = $h->D('t');
$v1 = $v->eval(t=>1);
$a = $v->D('t');

$answer1 = FormulaWithUnits("$v",'ft/s');
$answer2 = NumberWithUnits("$v1",'ft/s');
$answer3 = FormulaWithUnits("$a",'ft/s^2');

Setup: We use the differentiation operator ->D('t') and the evaluation method ->eval() to construct the derivative and evaluate it as a function. If we were writing several questions like this with different height functions, using the differentiation and evaluation methods would really speed up the writing. 

BEGIN_PGML
Suppose the height of a falling object, in feet above the ground, is given by
[` h(t) = [$h] `] for [` t \geq 0 `], where time is measured in seconds.

a. What is the velocity of the object?  [______________]{$answer1}

b. What is the velocity of the object when it hits the ground? [______________]{$answer2}

c. What is the acceleration of the object?  Include units in your answer. [______________]{$answer3}

Note: use units in all answers. [@ helpLink('units') @]*
END_PGML

Main Text: Don't forget to use helpLink("units") so your students will have access to the complete list of units that WeBWorK understands.
