Answer:

The height of the objects are the same after 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate at which time both objects have the same height we need to find the value of t that makes both equations equal. Therefore:

-t^2 + 3t = -t + 4\\t^2 - 3t - t + 4 = 0\\t^2 - 4t + 4 = 0\\t_{1,2} = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4*1*4}}{2*1} = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 16}}{2}\\t_{1,2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

The height of the objects are the same after 2 seconds.

Number has more than two factors
VMariaS [17]
I'm going to assume that you are asking how a number can have two factors.
So, a factor is an integer (non-fractional/decimal number) you multiply by another integer to get the actual number.

Well, let's look at the number 4. The number four has the following factors:
1, 2, 4
In a 'rainbow' style, you match the two outer numbers, then the two next inner numbers, and so on.
Because the number '2' is the one in the center and there is no other number to multiply it by, it must multiply by itself to reach the number 4.
Well, you must have two numbers to actually multiply together, so every number has two factors: 1, and itself (except for 0). 
I hope this helps, and good luck :)
