Question 76904: Hi, I'm not sure if I chose the right topic, but anyways, I need help on a problem with a really strange equation. The problem states this: An object is thrown up into the air at a rate of 24 meters per second from a height of 2 meters. Given that the acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 meters per second squared, write an eqaution for the height of the object, h, in terms of the number of seconds since the object was thrown, t.
My teacher said to use this formula to write my eqaution: h=1/2gt^2+vt+h^0. The ^0 part of the eqaution is actually underneath the right hand side of the h, kind of like an underscore 0. I tried to plug in the numbers, but it did not come out right. I did: h=1/2(-9.8)t^2+24t+2. I was not sure what the underscore zero meant, so I left it out. Could you please help me write my equation? Thanks.
