Homework Statement

Basketball thrown straight up from the ground, Vo = 5m/s, what equations correctly finds position y(t), velocity of the basketball vy(t), and acceleration

Relevant Equations

kinematic equations

Would greatly appreciate an explanation on this question, not sure I even understand what they're asking.

I assume that the scribblings in red are your attempt at a solution.

They are giving you three equations, which are too blurred to read, and are asking you to find which one(s) correctly describe(s) the physical situation of throwing the ball straight up in the air.

You say that the relevant equations are "the kinematic equations." What are they and how would you adapt them to this particular situation? Please post the answers in a legible form, ideally using LaTeX. Click on the link "LaTeX Guide" (lower left) to learn how.
