Using a Parabola: Maximum Height Reached by a Soccer Ball
Not what you're looking for?
If a soccer ball is kicked straight up from the ground with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second, then its height above the earth in feet is given by s(t) = -16t^2 + 32t where t is time in seconds. Graph this parabola for 0 < or equal to t < or equal to 2. What is the maximum height reached by the ball?
