Question

6. A ball is thrown at an upward velocity of 72 feet per second from a platform that is raised 10 feet
off the ground. Use the equation y = -12 + vt + h where y is the ending height of the ball, t is the
time in seconds, v is the ball's velocity, and h is the intial height, in feet, of the ball.
How long will it take the ball to reach its maximum height, and what is that maximum height?
(Disregard any extra height added by the person throwing the ball.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Question 675528: A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second. If the ball started its flight at a height of 8 feet, then its height s at time t can be determined by s(t)=-16t^2+48t+8 where s(t) is measured in feet above the ground and t is the number of seconds of flight.
