Question 411053: when a ball is thrown up into the air it makes a shape of a parabola the equation s=-16t^2+v*t+k gives the height of the ball at any time, t in seconds where v is the initial velocity speed in ft/sec and k is the initial height in feet as if you were on top of a tower or building make a scenario where a ball is thrown,shot,etc into the air. you can choose any initial velocity in ft/sec and any initial height in feet the ball but include them in your scenario

when a ball is thrown up into the air it makes a shape of a parabola the equation
s=-16t^2+v*t+k gives the height of the ball at any time, t in seconds where v is
the initial velocity speed in ft/sec and k is the initial height in feet as if
you were on top of a tower or building make a scenario where a ball is thrown, shot,etc into the air.
you can choose any initial velocity in ft/sec and any initial height in feet the ball but include them in your scenario
:
Let v = 32 ft/sec speed of the the thrown ball upward
Let k = 128 ft, height of building
:
s = -16t^2 + 32t + 128
:
Graphically

:
max height at 1 sec, hits the ground in 4 sec
