Question 82180: A rocket is launched from atop a 104-foot cliff with an initial velocity of 113 ft/sec.
problem a: Substitute the values into the vertical motion formula
h=-16t(to the power of 2)+vt=c. (v is the initial velocity and c is the starting height.) what is h (height) when the rocket hits the ground?
problem b: Use the quadratic formula to find out how long the rocket will take to his the ground after it is launched. Round to the nearest tenth of a second.

A rocket is launched from atop a 104-foot cliff with an initial velocity of 113 ft/sec.
problem a: Substitute the values into the vertical motion formula
h=-16t(to the power of 2)+vt=c. (v is the initial velocity and c is the starting height.)
h(t)= -16t^2 + 113t +104
----------------------------------
what is h (height) when the rocket hits the ground?
The height is zero when the rocket hits the round.
--------------------
problem b: Use the quadratic formula to find out how long the rocket will take to hit the ground after it is launched. Round to the nearest tenth of a second.
-16t^2 + 113t +104 = 0
t = [-113+-sqrt(113^2-4*-16*104)]/-32
t = [-113+-sqrt19425]/-32
t = [-113+-139.37]/-32
t = 7.88 seconds
