Vertical Projectile Motion Solver
Solve real-world physics word problems involving launching, throwing, and dropping objects using quadratic equations.
Key Concepts Covered:
- Standard Vertical Motion Formulas: $h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0 t + h_0$ (feet) and $h(t) = -4.9t^2 + v_0 t + h_0$ (meters).
- Ground Impact & Specific Altitudes: Setting $h(t) = 0$ or target heights to solve for time $t$.
- Vertex Calculations: Finding maximum height and the time to reach maximum height ($t = -\frac{b}{2a}$).
