APPLICATIONS 7. Physics students drop a ball from the top of a 100 foot high building and model its height above the ground as a function of time with the equation h(t)=100–16r. The height, h, is measures in feet and time, 1, is measured in seconds. Be careful with all calculations in this problems and remember to do the exponent (squaring) first. (a) Find the value of h(0). Include proper units. (b) Calculate h(2). Does our equation predict that What does this output represent? Reread the problem if necessary. the ball has hit the ground at 2 seconds? Explain.
