A football is kieked verticaly upward from a height of 6 feet with an initial speed of 60 feet per second. The formula h =6+ 60t- 16t describes the ball's height above the ground, h, in feet, t seconds after it was kicked. Use this formula to find the ball's height 2 seconds after it was kicked. The ball's height, 2 seconds after it was kicked, was feet.
