I released a piece of candy, threw it from my hand, and the initial conditions have to do with where did I release it and with what velocity.

我从我的手中抛出一颗糖,初始条件就是,我从什么位置抛出的,以多大速度抛出的

They tell you the initial location and initial velocity of the object.

它们表示的是物体的初始位移,和初始速度

So，the point is,every object falling under gravity is given by the same formula, but there are many, many objects that can have many histories, all falling under gravity, and what's different from one object and the other object is, when was it dropped, from what height, and with what initial speed.

关键是,每一个受重力作用下落的物体,都有同样的表达式,但是各个受重力作用下落的物体,都有不同的初始条件,所以它们的区别在于,下落时刻,下落高度和初始速度

So, we know in this example the initial height should be 15 meters and the initial velocity should be 10, and for acceleration, I'm going to use -g and to keep life simple, I'm going to call it -10.

我们知道在这个例子中,初始高度为15米,初始速度为10,然后是加速度,我们用"-g"表示重力加速度,为了计算方便,加速度的值取为-10
