    Step-by-step explanation:

    From the fourth law of motion

    h = ut + 0.5gt^2

    h = 90t + 0.5 (10) t^2

    Converting 90 frets/s into m/s

    h = 27.43t + 5t^2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The initial velocity, u of the obect when it was projected vertically is 90 feet per second

    The acceleration of the object is 32.17405 ft/s2 which is approximately 32.2ft/s2. This is same as acceleration due to gravity.

    Since the object is moving upwards, it is moving in opposite direction to the gravitational force. Therefore,

    acceleration of the object, g is negative.

    g = - 32.2ft/s2

    u = 90 feet per second

    H = the height of the object in feets

    t = time in seconds

    Applying newtons law of motion

    H = ut + gt^2/2

    H = 90t + (-32.2*t^2) / 2

    H = 90t - 16.1t^2

    H = - 16.1t^2 + 90t^2

    The function is

    f (t) = - 16.1t^2 + 90t^2
