Question 1029413: Please help me with this problem too:
A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 200-meter-tall building. The height of the ball above the ground at time t after the ball has been thrown is exactly the same as if the ball had been dropped. Find the equation which describes the height of the ball as a function of t.

h(t)=200-16t^2, using the formula s=-(1/2) a t^2, and a is 32 ft/sec^2.
