    As the ball hits the ground, its height will be equal to 0, so ...

    -3t² + 12t + 63 = 0

    t² - 4t - 21 = 0

    Using the Viet's theorem to solve the quadratic equation quicker:

    t₁ + t₂ = 4

    t₁t₂ = - 21

    t₁ = - 3 - this is not possible because time can't be negative

    t₂ = 7

    That means, the ball is expected to hit the ground after 7 sec has passed.
