A projectile is fired vertically upward from a height of 225 feet above the ground, with an initial velocity of 800 ft/sec. Recall that projectiles are modeled by the function h(t)=−16t2+v0t+y0. Write a quadratic equation to model the projectile's height h(t) in feet above the ground after t seconds.

A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, h, in feet, t seconds after it's shot is given by the equation: h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89 Find the two points in time when the object is 126 feet above the ground (to one decimal places). Answer: The object is 126 feet off the ground at the following times: (Enter your two answers separated by a comma. Round to ONE decimal places.)
Solving equations of motion Given an acceleration vector,initial velocity ⟨u0, v0, w0⟩, and initial position ⟨x0, y0, z0⟩, find thevelocity and position vectors, for t ≥ 0. a(t) = ⟨sin t, cos t, 1⟩, ⟨u0, v0, w0⟩ = ⟨0, 2, 0⟩,⟨x0, y0, z0⟩ = ⟨0, 0, 0⟩
You are exploring a planet and drop a small rock from the edge of a cliff. In coordinates where the +y direction is downward and neglecting air resistance, the vertical displacement of an object released from rest is given by y − y0 = 1/2gplanett2, where gplanet is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet. You measure t in seconds for several values of y − y0 in meters and plot your data with t2 on the vertical axis and y − y0 on the horizontal axis. Your data is fit closely by a straight line that has slope 0.300 s2/m. Based on your data, what is the value of gplanet?
A projectile is fired from a cliff 190 feet above the water at an inclination of 45 degree to the horizontal ,with muzzle velocity of 45 feet per second. The height h of the projectile above the water is given by h(x)=-32x^2/((45)^2) +x+190 Where x is the horizontal distance of the projectile from the face of the cliff. (A) At what distance from the face of the cliff is the height of the projectile a maximum?
A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.30 m/s. At a height of 107 m above the Earth, a package is dropped from the helicopter. How much time does it take for the package to reach the ground? [Hint: What is v0 for the package?] Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. My Answer is that t= 4.163 but what unit is it? I tried s, m/s, min but none of them were correct. PLEASE HELP CONFIRM MY ANSWER and THE UNIT along with 4.163
During service, a tennis ball is struck at height h = 1.7 m above a tennis court and moves with velocity v0 = v0xi. Assume the ball encounters no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position.

On a spacecraft two engines fire for a time of 389 s. One gives the craft an acceleration in the x direction of ax = 3.41 m/s^2, while the other produces an acceleration in the y direction of ay = 7.34 m/s^2. At the end of the firing period, the craft has velocity components of vx = 1860 m/s and vy = 4290 m/s. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the initial velocity. Express the direction as an angle with respect to the +x axis.
