Use a(t)=-32 feet per second squared as the acceleration due to gravity. a ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. how high will the ball go?

  144 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed decreases linearly by 32 ft/sec/sec, so will be zero after ...

  (96 ft/s)/(32 ft/s²) = 3 s

The average speed over that period is half the initial speed, so the distance covered between the ground and the maximum height is ...

  (3 s)(96 ft/s)/2 = 144 ft

_____

Alternate solution

The relationship between velocity and distance for a constant acceleration is ...

For an initial velocity of 96 ft/s, a final velocity (at the top of travel) of 0, and the given acceleration, we have ...

144 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a(t)=-32 feet per second squared as the acceleration due to gravity. A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. Therefore, the ball can go 144 ft high.
