You toss a baseball from a height of 32 feet with an initial upward velocity 16 feet per second. How long will
it take the baseball to reach the ground?
h
V=
Use the vertical motion model h =
1662
vt where h
is the initial height in feet, v is the initial velocity (in feet
per second), and t is the time (in seconds) the object
spends in the air
t=
