A softball pitcher throws a softball to a catcher behind home plate. The softball is 3 feet above the ground when it leaves the pitcher’s hand at a velocity of 50 feet per second. If the softball’s acceleration is –16 ft/s2, which quadratic equation models the situation correctly? h(t) = at2 vt h0 h(t) = 50t2 – 16t 3 h(t) = –16t2 50t 3 3 = –16t2 50t h0 3 = 50t2 – 16t h0
