A baseball is hit straight upwards with an initial velocity of 72 feet per
second and leaves the bat at an initial height of 3 feet.
Write a formula, s(t), that models the height of the baseball after t seconds.
:
s(t) = -16t^2 + 72t + 3
Where
s(t) = height after t seconds
-16t^2 = the downward pull of gravity
72t = initial upward velocity
3 = initial height of the bat
