Front

What does the variable h_0 represent in the vertical motion formula?

Back

The variable h_0 represents the initial height from which the object is thrown.

Front

What does the variable v_0 represent in the vertical motion formula?

Back

The variable v_0 represents the initial velocity of the object when it is thrown.

Front

If a ball is thrown from an initial height of 6 feet and takes 7 seconds to return to the ground, how high did it go?

Back

The ball reached a maximum height of 199 feet.

Front

What is the significance of the time it takes for a ball to return to the ground in vertical motion problems?

Back

The time it takes for the ball to return to the ground helps determine the maximum height and the initial velocity.

What is the process to complete the square for a quadratic expression?

Back

To complete the square, take the coefficient of the linear term, divide it by 2, square it, and add it to both sides of the equation.
