Your code seems overly complex to me. The following seems much
less complex to me and looks like it does what you want
Plot[1/2 (20 t - 9.80665 t^2), {t, 0, 2}, Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> {"t(s)", "h(m)", "", "h(ft)"},
FrameTicks -> {Automatic, Automatic,
None, {.3048 #, #} & /@ Range[0, 16, 2]}]
