1) A baseball is thrown in the air with an initial velocity of 18 meters/second from a height of 1.5 meters: Which equation represents the ball's height, h, in meters, as a function of time, t, in seconds?

  • Initial velocity=18m/s^2
  • h=1.5m
  • g=10m/s^2

Now apply second equation of kinematics


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow h=ut-(1)/(2)gt^2


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow h=18t-1/2(10)t^2


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow h=18t-5t^2
