Can someone please help?
The equation for a projectile's height versus time is h(t)=-16t^2+v^0t+h^o.
A tennis ball machine serves a ball vertically into the air from a height of 2 feet, with an initial speed of 120 feet per second. What is the maximum height, in feet, the ball will attain?
Round to the nearest whole foot.

\[h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0 t + h_0\]In this question,\[v_0 = 120\]\[h_0 = 2\]

thank you I was confused where to plug in the numbers. what about the (t) is there a certain thing you plug into it?
p.s. sorry math isn't my best subject

There's a calculus way to do this and then there's the non-calc way. Which one do you want?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
