Question

The height h in feet of a baseball on Earth after t seconds can be modeled by the function h(t) = -16(t – 1.5)2 + 36, where -16 is a constant in ft/s2 due to Earth's gravity. The gravity on Mars is only 0.38 times that on Earth. If the same baseball were thrown on Mars, it would reach a maximum height 59 feet higher and 2.5 seconds later than on Earth. Write a height function for the baseball thrown on Mars.

Answer 1

Right now I think it might be y=-0.38(t-2.5)^2+59
