Physics students drop a ball from the top of a 100 foot high building and model its height as a function time with the equation h (t) = 100 - 16t^2. The height, h, is measured in feet and time, t, is measured is seconds.

Find the value of h (0). Include proper units. What does this output represent?

Answer: h (0) = 100, h (0) represents intial height

Step-by-step explanation:

h (t) = 100 - 16t²

h (0) = 100 - 16 (0) ²

= 100 - 0

= 100

h (0) represents the height at 0 seconds, which is the initial height
