To find the height of the object 2.5 seconds after it was dropped, you can substitute \( t = 2.5 \) into the equation \( h(t) = -9.8t^2 + 100 \).
Calculating:
\[ h(2.5) = -9.8(2.5)^2 + 100 \] \[ h(2.5) = -9.8(6.25) + 100 \] \[ h(2.5) = -61.25 + 100 \] \[ h(2.5) = 38.75 \]
So, the height of the object 2.5 seconds after it was dropped is 38.75 meters.
