3. Physics students were modeling the height of a ball once it was dropped from the roof of a 25 story
building. The students found that the height in feet, h, of the ball above the ground as a function of the
number of seconds, i, since it was dropped was given by h(t)= 300 - 1612.
From what height was the ball dropped?
To the nearest tenth of a second, determine the time at
which the ball hits the ground. Provide evidence from a
table to support your answer or solve this algebraically
if you recall how to.

It will take 4.3 seconds for the ball to hit the ground

Given the eqation of the height at which the object dropped expressed as

h(t) = 300 - 16t²

The object will hit the ground at when h(t) = 0

Substitute h(t) = 0 into the expression to have;

0 = 300 - 16t²

16t² = 300

t² = 300/16

t² = 18.75

t = 4.33sec

This shows that it will take 4.3 seconds for the ball to hit the ground
