A child tosses a baseball up into the air. On its way down, it gets caught in a tree for several seconds before falling down to
the ground.
Sketch a graph that represents the height of the ball, as a function of time.
Be sure to include a label and a scale for each axis.

Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever you have situations like these you have to look at it from the perspective given.
If you are throwing a ball it's going to start at ground 0 where the child is, therefore the height of the child is how high off the ground the ball is at 0 seconds.
If it is thrown, and it is stuck in the tree for a few seconds, then that means on the graph you will see an incline of the graph, and then a stale line for a few seconds as the ball is stuck in the same height for a few seconds.
After the ball falls down, then so will the height of the ball.
t - a function of time, is always on the x-axis because time variables are usually on the x-axis of a graph.
I choose seconds as a measurement of time because in a realistic situation a ball will be in the air for seconds.
h - the height of the ball, will be on the y-axis of the graph because it is a dependent variable (i.e. the height of the ball is dependent on how long the ball is in the air for).
The image below is the graph.
