Algebra.Com's Answer #752846 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the position equation s=-16t^2+VoT+So , where s represents the height of an object (in feet), Vo represents the inital velocity of the object(in feet per second), So represents the initial height of the object(in feet), anf T represents the time(in seconds). A projectile is fired straight upward from ground level (So=0)with a initial velocity of 224 feet per second. \n" ); document.write( "a). At what instant will it be back at ground level? \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "-16t^2+VoT+So = 0 \n" ); document.write( "-16t^2 + 224t = 0 \n" ); document.write( "16t = 224 \n" ); document.write( "t = 14 \n" ); document.write( "=========================\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b).
