the verticle motion formula: h = -16t² + vt + s where t = time, v = initial velocity and s = initial height

h = -16t² + vt + s
0 = -16t² + 54t + 40 You will need to use the quadratic formula to solve this

I'll attach the solution and steps
Ted throws an object into the air with an initial vertical velocity of 54 feet per-example-1
