\n" );
document.write( "h=-4.9t^2+180t+2 
\n" );
document.write( "Yes, one can use a graphing Calculator (using x in place of t)
\n" );
document.write( "As to sizing... 1st derivative tells us Maxmimun is at ~18 (180/9.8) which results in height of 1600+

document.write( "Using -100,2000 for y-axis and -60,60 for the x - axis, one can take a look at it
