a ball is thrown vertically with an intial velocity of 96 feet per second. the distance S (in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is given by S(T)=96-16t^2
A)at what time the ball will hit the ground.
When s(t) = 0
s(t) = 0 at launch and at impact.
----------
B)what is the maximum height that the ball can reach?
The ball is at its apogee when t = 1/2 the time to impact.
Find that time, then find s(t)
