Question 994201: Use the position function
s(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + s_0
v0 = initial velocity,
s0 = initial position,
t = time
to answer the following question.
You throw a ball straight up from a rooftop 170 feet high with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. During which time period will the ball's height exceed that of the rooftop?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the position function
s(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + s_0
v0 = initial velocity,
s0 = initial position,
t = time
to answer the following question.
You throw a ball straight up from a rooftop 170 feet high with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. During which time period will the ball's height exceed that of the rooftop?
===========
-16t^2 + 32t + 170 > 170
-----
-16t^2 + 32t > 0
-----
-16t(t-2) > 0
----
ANSWER: Between 0 and 2 seconds.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! You want to know the values of when
When ,
So, is the initial time
Now you have to find when theball is
coming down and is back to the 170 ft level
The ball exceeds the height of the rooftop
between 0 and 2 sec
--------------------
Here's a plot of the ball's height and time in sec
