If you have the answers to (a) and (b) [which I have supplied] then you have four data points. Plot those.

asked 08/13/22A worker accidentally drops a hammer from the scaffolding of a tall building. The worker is 300 feet above the ground. As you answer the following, recall that an object falls 16t^2 feet in t seconds (assuming negligible air resistance).
(a) How far above the ground is the hammer after falling for one second? for two seconds? Write a formula that expresses the height h of the hammer after it has fallen for t seconds.
(b) How many seconds does it take the hammer to reach the ground? How many seconds does it take for the hammer to fall until it is 100 feet above the ground?
(c) By plotting some data points and connecting the dots, sketch a graph of h versus t. Is your graph is a picture of the path followed by the falling hammer?
