the distance,h, traveled in,t, seconds by an object dropped from a height is h=-16t^2+s. if an object is dropped from an initial height,s, of 180 feet, how long will it take before the obect hits the ground? round to the nearest 0.01 second
-----------------
180 = 16t^2
t^2 = 11.25
t = 3.35 seconds
