Question 520239: Please help!
If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 16 ft/sec, its height, h, in feet, after t seconds is given by h=16t-16t^2 Find the number of seconds before the object hits the ground. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.)
Thank you!!

If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 16 ft/sec, its height, h, in feet, after t seconds is given by h=16t-16t^2 Find the number of seconds before the object hits the ground. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.)
-----------------
It hits the ground when h = 0
h=16t-16t^2 = 0
t = 0 (when it's starts)
t = 1 second at impact
