    the initial height of the cannon ball

    Step-by-step explanation:

    - Time (t) is basically how many seconds or minutes you factor into the given function. 16 (time in exact seconds or minutes) ^2+40 (time in exact seconds or minutes) + 5

    - The + 5 can only be where the cannonball was initially fired from logically. The Velocity formula is already there for you to plug the time into^^^

    (I used time in minutes/seconds to try and explain what the function is asking)
