Question 325376: The formula s=16t^2 is used to approximate the distance s, in feet, that an object falls freely (from rest) in t seconds. Use the formula to solve the problem. (Round to the nearest tenth).
A branch of a tree hangs 575 ft above the soil. If a twig breaks off, how long will it take it, falling freely, to reach the soil?

To get the nearest 10th of a second, use 576 feet.
576 = 16t^2
t^2 = 36
t = 6 seconds.
