Question 1066132: the acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8m/s sqr a ball is thrown upward at an initial velocity of 15 m/s from a height of 1m off the ground
A) write a equation for the height of the ball
B) what is the height after 1s
C) after how many seconds dose the ball hit the ground
D) what and when dose maximum height occur
E) repeat A&B for but g= 1.62m/s sqr
F) repeat A&B for but g= 23.1m/s sqr

the acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8m/s sqr a ball is thrown upward at an initial velocity of 15 m/s from a height of 1m off the ground
A) write a equation for the height of the ball(
h(t) = -9.8t^2+15t+1
--------------------------------
B) what is the height after 1s
h(1) = -9.8+15+1 = 6.2 meters
---------------------------------------
C) after how many seconds does the ball hit the ground
Solve:: -9.8t^2+15t+1 = 0
t = 1.595 seconds
-----------------------
D) what and when does maximum height occur?
Vertex occurs when t = -b/(2a) = -15/(2*-9.8) = 0.7653 seconds
----------------------
I'll leave the following to you.
Cheers,
