The height of an object tossed upward with an initial velocity of 152 feet per second is given by the formula (h = -16t^2 + 152t), where (h) is the height in feet and (t) is the time in seconds. Find the time required for the object to return to its point of departure.

If an object is projected upward with an initial velocity of $128 \mathrm{ft}$ per sec, its height $h$ in feet after t seconds is given by the quadratic equation $$ h=-16 t^{2}+128 t $$ Find the height of the object after each time listed. $2 \mathrm{sec}$

If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 112 feet per second, its height after t seconds is given by s(t) = 112t - 16t^2. Find the maximum height attained by the object. The object will attain maximum height exactly at the halfway point in terms of the time t, where t = 0 is at the beginning of the object's flight, and the final time is when the object hits the ground.

An object is thrown upward at time $t=0 .$ After $t$ seconds, its height is $y=-4.9 t^{2}+7 t+1.5$ meters above the ground. (a) From what height was the object thrown? (b) What is the initial velocity of the object? (c) What is the acceleration due to gravity?
