To study how high a ball bounces student drop the ball from various heights. The function h (t) = - 16t^2=h 0 gives the height in feet of ball at the time t measured in seaconds since the ball was dropped from a height of h 0. If the ball was dropped from a height of 8 feet find the elapsed time until the ball hits the floor

Norton · Answer 1

The ball hit the floor at 128

Step-by-step explanation:

sub in 8 into the equation

h (8) = - 16 (8) ^2=0

h (8) = - 16 (64) = 0

h (8) = - 1024=0

8h=0+1024

8h=1024

h=128
