The function H(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s shows the height H(t), in feet, of a projectile launched vertically from s feet above the ground after t seconds. The initial speed of the projectile is v feet per second.

Part A: The projectile was launched from a height of 96 feet with an initial velocity of 80 feet per second. Create an equation to find the time taken by the projectile to fall on the ground

anonymous · Answer

h(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s
h(t) = -16t^2 + (80)t + (96)
h(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 96
