Ok so this is a one direction motion, with gravity being the force. Let's go through our diff. eqns \[y'' = -g\] \[y' = -g t + C \] when t = 0, y' = 12 (initial velocity of 12), so C = 12 \[y = \int\limits (-g t +12) dt = -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }g t^2 +12t + C\] When t = 0, y = 2 (initially 2 m above grounds) So y = 2 = 0+ 0 + C \[y = 12t -\frac{ 1}{ 2 } g t^2 +2\]
The last part is make your equation for height y = 0 if the ball is on the ground so 12t - 0.49gt^2 + 2 = 0
sorry should say 12t - 4.9t^2 + 2 = 0 which is second response.
This can also be done using the formula\[d=v _{o}t+\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }g t ^{2}\]
Because the ball starts two meters above the ground, the ball on the ground is a negative direction, or a displacement of -2 meters.
