Graham and Hunter are circus performers. A cable lifts Graham into the air at a constant speed of 1.5 ft/s. When Graham's arms are 18 ft above the ground, Hunter, who is standing directly underneath Graham, throws Graham a ball as the cable continues to lift him higher. Hunter throws the ball from a position 5 ft above the ground with an initial velocity of 24 ft/s. Which system of equations can be used to model this situation?

A) h=18+1.5t

h=5+24t-16t^2

B) h=18+1.5t

h=5+24t+16t^2

C) h=18+1.5t

h=5+24t

D) h=18t+1.5t-16t^2

h=5+24t-16t^2

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "D) h=18t+1.5t-16t^2; h=5+24t-16t^2." the system of equations can be used to model this situation is that D) h=18t+1.5t-16t^2

h=5+24t-16t^2
