    The ball hits the ground at unknown time (t) when the height (h) = 0

    h (t) = - 16t² + vt + h ⇒ v = 64, h = 0, h (t) = 0, find t

    0 = - 16t² + 64t

    0 = - 16t (t - 4)

    0 = - 16t or 0 = t - 4

    t = 0 or t = 4

    It starts at t = 0 seconds and ends at t = 4 seconds

    Answer: B
