Question

A soccer ball is kicked from the ground with an initial upward velocity of 120 feet per second. The equation h(t) = -16t² + 120t gives the height h of the ball after t seconds.

What is the height of the ball after 2 seconds?

Answer 1

176 feet

Explanation:

substitute t = 2 into the equation

h(2) = - 16(2)² + 120(2) = - 64 + 240 = 176 feet
