we are given with the situation that says a softball is tossed into the air upward and is asked for the height of the soft ball above the ground as a function of t. The formula using kinetic equations is h(t) = y0 + vot - 1/2 gt2. g is equal to 32.2 ft/s. h(t) = y0 + vot - 16.1 t2 where yo is the initial height and vo is the initial velocity. use vo2 = 2gh to get the maximum height
