Physics: height of a thrown baseball. A baseball is thrown directly upward with an initial velocity of 75ft/sec from an initial height
Where v is in feet per second.
a. Find the function h that gives the height (in feet) of the baseball after t seconds.
b. What are the height and the velocity of the baseball after 2 sec of flight?
c. After how many seconds does the ball reach its highest points? (Hint: The ball “stops” for a moment before staring its downward fall.)
d. How high is the ball at its highest point?
e. After how many seconds will the ball hit the ground?
f. What is the ball velocity at the moment it hits the ground?
