Help! Algebra 2 vertical motion

[neonkid11]

Hi I need help with this problem if you guys can help me I would appreciate it

Scientists just discovered a new planet named xenon near the sun. They believe the gravity is to be 0.30 that of what is on Earth. To determine info. on a jump ball on xenon we have to consider Earth's vertical height model h(t)=-16t^2+24t+3.

What would the equation for the vertical model be on xenon

Hint: Review the meanings (the definitions, the generators) of the "-16", the "24", and the "3" in the Earth-based equation. This will tell you which value to change, and in what way. ;-)

This looks more like a science question than algebra. Any time you deal with a physical system you must include UNITS on every number, and every equation must be checked for units. The three terms in the h(t) must all have the same units as h, or else you would not be allowed to add them together.

h(t) = - (16 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (24 ft/s)*t + (3 ft)

Does that help you to define what the three given numbers represent?

yes it does help me define what the three given numbers represent thanks!
