Question 603935: A firework launched into the air with an initial velocity of 160 per second. People wonder how high the rocket will go before it begins to descend back to the ground. The formula for vertical motion is h(f)= -16+vt+s, v is the initial velocity and s is the initial height. Time t is measured in seconds, and height, h, in feet. What function describes the height in feet and t seconds into the launch ?

-----
h(t) = -16t^2 + 160t
