Question 1152117: Eyjafjallajökull is a volcano in Iceland. During a recent eruption the volcano spewed out copious amounts of ash. One small piece of ash was ejected from the volcano with an initial velocity of 336 ft/sec. The height H, in feet of the ash projectile is given by the equation: H = -16t^2+336t (t is the time in seconds) the graph of this equation will be a parabola. We will assume that the volcano has no height. H=0 at t=0. Showing all steps
1.When does the ash projectile reach its maximum height?
2.What is its maximum height?
3.When does the ash projectile return to the ground?

Such problems come in hundreds to the forum,  and they all are  TWIN  problems.

So I created the lessons
    - Problem on a projectile moving vertically up and down
    - Problem on an arrow shot vertically upward
    - Problem on a ball thrown vertically up from the top of a tower
    - Problem on a toy rocket launched vertically up from a tall platform
in this site that teach students/visitors to solve them.

Consider these lessons as your textbook,  handbook,  tutorials and  (free of charge)  home teacher.
Read them attentively and learn how to solve this type of problems once and for all.

Also,  you have this free of charge online textbook in ALGEBRA-I in this site
    - ALGEBRA-I - YOUR ONLINE TEXTBOOK.

The referred lessons are the part of this textbook under the topic "Projectiles launched/thrown and moving vertically up and dawn".
