Ted throws an object straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 54 ft/s from a platform that is 40 ft above the ground. Use the formula h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + h_0, where v_0 is the initial velocity and h_0 is the initial height.

An object is launched directly upward at 64 feet per second from a platform 80 feet high. Its height above the ground is given by h(t) = -16t^2 + v_o t + h_o where h_o is the initial height and v_o is the initial velocity of the object. a) At what time does the object reach a maximum height? b) What is the maximum height that the object attains? c) How long does it take for the object to return to the ground?

A body thrown vertically upwards reaches a maximum height h. It then returns to the ground. Calculate the distance traveled and the displacement.

A ball is thrown upward with initial velocity $v_{0} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ and reaches a maximum height of $h$ m. How high would it have gone if its initial velocity was $2 v_{0} ?$ How fast must it be thrown upward to achieve a maximum height of $2 h$ m?
