SOLUTION: If a ball is kicked upward with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second, such that its height h (in feet) can be expressed as a function of time in flight t (in seconds) by the e

Question 1060350: If a ball is kicked upward with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second, such that its height h (in feet) can be expressed as a function of time in flight t (in seconds) by the equation h(t)= -16t^2 +32t.
a) How much time does the ball take to reach its highest point?
b)What is its height at this point?
c)When does the ball hit the ground?
