The formula for the height of a ball as a function of time is given by the equation h = -16t^2 + vt + h, where h is the height o

f a ball in feet, v is the initial velocity of the ball in feet per second, h is the initial height of the ball in feet, and t is the time in seconds after the ball was thrown.
If a ball is thrown from an initial height of 5 feet at an initial velocity of 20 feet per second, what is its height after 1 second?

It's really poor form to use 'h' to mean two different things in two different
places in the same formula.  Fortunately, we know what you mean.

H = h + vt - 16t²

<span>You have said that ...
initial height = 5 feet
initial velocity = 20 feet per second, no direction given
time = 1 second</span>

Since you gave us the magnitude of the initial velocity but not its direction,
there are a huge number of possibilities.  I'll focus only on two of them: 
20 feet per second straight down, and 20 feet per second straight up.

<em><u>Initial velocity is downward:</u></em>
H = (5) + (-20) (1) - 16 (1)²
H = 5 - 20 - 16 = 5 - 36 = <u>31 feet underground</u> after 1 second

<em><u>Initial velocity is upward:</u></em>
H = (5) + (20) (1) - 16 (1)²
H = 5 + 20 - 16 = 25 - 16 = <u>9 feet above ground</u> after 1 second

Wayne bought an engagement ring for Tracy.
ohaa [14]
It would be: 420 + (420 * 17.5%)
= 420 + (420 * 0.175)  [ 17.5% = 0.175 ]
= 420 + 73.5
= 493.5

In short, Your Answer would be <span>£493.5

Hope this helps!</span>
