document.write( "Question 66258: Im having a hard time with this problem. Please help!
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose a baseball is shot up from the ground straight up with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. A function can be created by expressing distance above the ground, s, as a function of time, t. This function is s = -16t2 + v0t + s0
\n" ); document.write( "• 16 represents ½g, the gravitational pull due to gravity (measured in feet per second 2).
\n" ); document.write( "• v0 is the initial velocity (how hard do you throw the object, measured in feet per second).
\n" ); document.write( "• s0 is the initial distance above ground (in feet). If you are standing on the ground, then s0 = 0.
\n" ); document.write( "a) What is the function that describes this problem?
