A man is standing on a cliff above a beach. He throws a rock upward at a speed of 70 feet per second from a height 100 feet above the beach. How long will it take until the rock lands on the beach?
-----------
h(t) = -16t^2 + 70t + 100
At impact, h(t) = 0
-16t^2 + 70t + 100 = 0
Solve for t, ignore the negative solution.
