Which coefficient in $h(t) = at^2 + vt + h_0$ represents the acceleration due to gravity?

$a$

$v$

$h_0$

None

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. In physics, the term $at^2$ comes from $\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ . The coefficient $a$ represents half of the gravitational acceleration (which is negative).

Choice B is incorrect because it is velocity. Choice C is incorrect because it is height. Choice D is incorrect.
