Question

11. If an object is dropped from a height of 98 ft, the function h0 = 146^2400 gives the
height of the object after t seconds. When will the object hit the ground? ( point

To find when the object will hit the ground, we need to find the time when the height of the object is 0.

So we set h(t) = 0 and solve for t:

0 = 146 - 16t^2
16t^2 = 146
t^2 = 146/16
t^2 = 9.125
t = √9.125
t ≈ 3.02 seconds

Therefore, the object will hit the ground after approximately 3.02 seconds.
