For a calculus connection, integrate the velocity
function.

8. Compute the total distance that the ball travels.
The initial height and the maximum height are known,
so the total distance can be easily

For another calculus connection, another integral
can be used. The traditional approach is to use two
integrals, but it is quicker to use the absolute value
template, which can be found in .
