We know the values for acceleration (a), time (t), initial velocity (v_0), height (y_0) and want to calculate the value of height (y). According to the initial data we have about the problem, the following formula would be the most useful to find the unknown (y) that we are looking for. We need to solve the equation below for y. We substitute the data of the problem in the formula and proceed to simplify the equation. Multiply 0 times 5.
