Question 1179746: when a ball is thrown straight up into the air. the formula h=vt-16t2 gives the height h of the object above ground after t seconds. Its initial velocity is given as v.
a) after how many seconds will the object hit the ground if it is thrown with a velocity of 96 feet per second?
b) what should be the initial velocity of the object if you want the ball to hit the ground in 10 seconds?

Hi
a) h = 96t - 16t^2  = 16t(6 - t) = 0 ,  t = 6sec
b)  v*(10) - 16*10^2 = 0 
      v = 1600/10 = 160ft/sec

Wish You the  Best in your Studies.
