Question 31791: Can someone help with this word problem, it is not making any sense.
Suppose you throw a baseball straight up at a velocity of 64 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 = -16t^2 + v0t + s0
• 16 represents 1/2g, the gravitational pull due to gravity (measured in feet per second^2).
• v0 is the initial velocity (how hard do you throw the object, measured in feet per second).
• s0 is the initial distance above ground (in feet). If you are standing on the ground, then s0 = 0.
I need to find the function that describes this problem?
The ball will be how high above the ground after 1 second?
How long will it take to hit the ground?
What is the maximum height of the ball? What time will the maximum height be attained?
