**Physics Problem - Baseball Throw Upward**

A baseball is thrown directly upward with an initial velocity of \(75 \ \text{ft/sec}\) from an initial height of \(30 \ \text{ft}\). The velocity of the baseball, given by \(\nu(t) = -32t + 75\), where \(t\) is the number of seconds since the ball was released and \(\nu\) is in ft/sec.

### Tasks:

1. **Find the Function for Height**:
   Find the function, \(h\), that gives the height (in feet) of the baseball after \(t\) seconds if we know that at \( t = 0 \), the ball is 30 ft above the ground and the velocity of the baseball at any time \(t\) is given by \(\nu(t) = -32t + 75\).

2. **Calculate Height After 2 Seconds**:
   What is the height of the baseball after \(2\) seconds of flight?

3. **Time to Reach Highest Point**:
   After how many seconds does the ball reach its highest point? (Hint: The ball 'stops' for a moment before falling downward, \(\nu(t) = 0\)).

4. **Maximum Height**:
   How high does the ball get at its highest point? (Use the time found in the previous step to compute this using the height function).

5. **Time to Hit the Ground**:
   After how many seconds will the ball hit the ground? (The ball will hit the ground when the height \(h(t)\) becomes \(0\)).

6. **Velocity on Ground Impact**:
   What is the ball’s velocity at the moment it hits the ground? (Use the time found in the previous step to compute the velocity when the ball hits the ground).

For a deeper understanding, remember to derive from the motion equations considering gravity as the acceleration, which in this problem is \(-32 \ \text{ft/sec}^2\).

### Mathematical Solutions & Explanations:

a) To find the height function \(h(t)\):

    We start with the given velocity function, \(\nu(t) = -32t + 75\).

    Velocity, \(\nu(t)\), is the derivative of the height function, \(h(t)\):
    
    \[
    \nu(t) = \frac{dh(t
