Question 344858: If a projectile is launched with an initial velocity of v0 feet per second from an initial height of s0 feet, then its height s(t)in feet is determined by the quadratic function s(t)=-16t^2+v0^t+s0 where t is the time in seconds. When you graph the function you will have the parabolic shape where the maximum point is called the vertex. If a ball is tossed upward with velocity 64 feet per second from a height of 5 feet, the function to represent the height at any time t is given with the equation s(t)=-16t^+64t+5 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
