61. Mrs. Walsh throws a football to Miss Anderson
Mrs. Walsh throws a football to Miss Anderson. The football is about 2 m high at the time it is released. After 3 s, the football is at its highest point, 18 m. Miss Anderson misses the toss and the ball hits the ground after 6 s. Explain why the y-intercept is not 0 m.
