Silas tosses a football with an initial velocity of 10 ft/s from an initial height of 6 ft. what is the maximum height the ball will reach?

Sounds like a physics problem

basically we can simlpify it to this:
we toss something straight up with initial velocity 10ft/sec, assuming gravity kicks in, what is max height?

we can use the kinematic equation
is final velocity
is initial velocity
a is acceleration due to gravity
d=distance traveled

if we say he tosses it straight up then when it  reaches max height,
and

and we know that

so solving for d




plug the numbers in




we add that to the initial 6ft
so total of 7.5540498539193137315845092310561 ft max height
about 7.6ft
