Re: Your Question, flight of ball: H(t)=16t^2+80t
\n" ); document.write( "At that flight it will never hit the ground
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "how long does it take for the golf ball to hit the ground:
\n" ); document.write( "IF flight of ball: H(t)= -16t^2+80t
\n" ); document.write( "-16t^2 +80t = 0
\n" ); document.write( " 16t^2 = 80t
\n" ); document.write( " t = 80/16 = 5sec
