1) The height of a baseball hit 1 meter off the ground at an initial velocity of 40 meters is given by h(t) = - 4.9t2 + Vo t + So. Write the equation for the motion of the object. What is the maximum height in meters, that the ball will reach? After how many seconds will the ball reach its maximum height? How long does it take the ball to hit the ground?

Question

ranga · Answer

Vo must be the initial velocity.  Is So the initial height?  If so all you have to do is plug in the numbers to get the equation for the motion.

$\bf h = -4.9t^2+v_ot+h_o \qquad \text{in meters}\ \quad \
v_o = \textit{initial velocity}\
h_o= \textit{initial height}$

ranga · Answer

Set Vo = 40 and ho = 1 in jdoes's equation above to get the equation for the motion.  If you do that I can tell you the next step.
