A batter hits a baseball upward with an initial speed of 96 feet per second. After how many seconds does the ball hit the ground? Use the formula h = rt - 16t2 where h represents height in feet and r represents the initial speed.

Question

bahrom7893 · Answer

after how many seconds does the ball hit the ground? that means h = 0
rt - 16t^2 = 0
r - initial speed

bahrom7893 · Answer

So:
96t - 16t^2 = 0
16(6t - t^2) = 0

bahrom7893 · Answer

6t-t^2 = 0
t(6-t)=0
t = 0
or t = 6

bahrom7893 · Answer

is the answer.. since t = 0 is initial value
