An object is dropped from 33 feet below the tip of the pinnacle atop a 357-ft tall building. The height h...
seconds pass before the object reaches the ground (Type an integer or a decimal.)
To find how many seconds pass before the object reaches the ground, set h = 0 and solve for t in the equation:
0 = -16t^2 + 324
Rearrange the equation:
16t^2 = 324
Divide both sides by 16:
t^2 = 20.25
Take the square root of both sides:
t = 4.5
Therefore, 4.5 seconds pass before the object reaches the ground.
