Algebra.Com's Answer #153741 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec, its height after t sec is given by h = 64t -16t^2. Find the number of seconds the object is in the air before it hits the ground. \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "It's at ground level when h = 0. \n" ); document.write( "h = 64t - 16t^2 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "t = 0 seconds \n" ); document.write( "t = 4 seconds \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "It's at ground level at 0 seconds, and returns to ground level after 4 seconds. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
