A quarterback throws a football toward a receiver from a height of 6 ft. The initial vertical velocity of the ball is 14 ft/s. At the same time that the ball is thrown, the receiver raises his hands to a height of 8 ft and jumps up with an initial vertical velocity of 10 ft/s. Projectile motion formula: h = -16t2 + vt + h0 t = time, in seconds, since the ball was thrown h = height, in feet, above the ground
