Question 189116: The path of a falling object is given by the function S=-16t^2+v_o t+s_o
where v_o represents the initial velocity in ft/sec and s_o represents the initial height in feet. Also, s represents the height in feet of the object at any time, t, which is measured in seconds.
If a rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 40 feet per second from the top of a 30-foot building, write the height (s) equation using this information.
