PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS QUESTION!! THIS IS PART OF MY HOMEWORK DUE TONIGHT!!!

You throw a ball upward with an initial speed of 3.0 m/s from an initial height of 1.5 m. After you throw the ball, its acceleration is 9.81 m/s2 downward. Taking upward to be the positive direction, write the position-time equation for the ball's motion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the vertical motion model, h = -16t2 + vt + s, where v is the initial velocity in feet/second and s is the height in feet, to calculate the maximum height of the ball.
