Answer:
t = 9 s
Step-by-step explanation:
A stone is thrown downward with an intitial velocity of 29.5 m/sec will travel a distance of a meters, where
[tex]s(t) = -4.9t^2 + 29.4+132.3[/tex]
We need to find when the stone will hit the ground. It means when s(t) = 0. So,
[tex]-4.9t^2 + 29.4t+132.3=0\\\\t=-3\ and\ t=9[/tex]
So, the stone will take 9 seconds to hit the ground. Hence, this is the required solution.
