Start with the function for the height, as a function of time, (h(t), of an object propelled upwards from an initial height of \"h%5B0%5D\" with an initial velocity of \"v%5B0%5D\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"h%28t%29+=+-%281%2F2%29gt%5E2%2Bv%5B0%5Dt%2Bh%5B0%5D\" where: g (acceleration due to gravity) = 32ft/sec.squared.
\n" ); document.write( "\"h%28t%29+=+-16t%5E2%2Bv%5B0%5Dt=h%5B0%5D\" Substitute: \"v%5B0%5D+=+32\" and \"h%5B0%5D+=+4\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"h%28t%29+=+-16t%5E2%2B32t%2B4\" Note that the negative comes from the fact that gravity is acting downward.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
