Answer:
about 5.613 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the quadratic formula to find the value of t when h = 0, we have ...
at² +bt +c = 0
t = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
t = (-72±√(72² -4(-16)(100)))/(2(-16))
t = (-72±√11584)/-32 = (9±√181)/4
Only the positive value of t is of interest.
The coin will hit the stream after (9+√181)/4 seconds ≈ 5.613 seconds.
