The height of an object tossed upward with an initial velocity of 104 feet per second is given by the formula h = -16t^2 + 104t, where h is the height in feet and t is the same time in seconds.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the time required for the object to return to its point of departure.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the point of departure (ground level) h = 0, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "-16t^2 + 104t = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out -16t, results
\n" ); document.write( "-16t(t - 6.5) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions
\n" ); document.write( "t = 0 sec, when object is tossed, it as at ground level
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "t = 6.5 sec, when object returns to earth \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
