we know that

acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2

so, we get

a(t)=9.8

and acceleration will always be constant

we know that

integral of acceleration is velocity

so, we can integrate both sides

$\int \:a\left(t\right)dt=\int \:9.8dt$

v(t)=9.8t+C

we are given

v(0)=35m/s

we can use it and find C

v(0)=9.8*0+C

35=9.8*0+C

C=35

now, we can plug it back

v(t)=9.8t+35

we know that

integral of velocity is height

we can integrate it again

$\int \:v\left(t\right)dt=\int \:\left(9.8t+35\right)dt$

$s(t)=\int \:\left(9.8t+35\right)dt$

s(t)=4.9t^2+35t+C

now, we have

s(0)=6

we can use it and find C

s(0)=4.9(0)^2+35(0)+C

6=4.9(0)^2+35(0)+C

now, we can plug back C

C=6

and we get

s(t)=4.9t^2+35t+6 .............Answer
