given h = 600 - 16t ( add 16t to both sides )
16t + h = 600 ( subtract h from both sides )
16t = 600 - h ( divide both sides by 16 )
t =
when h = 400
t = =
= 12.5 seconds

Answer: 1.4 seconds
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The equation is: h(t) = at² + v₀t + h₀ where
- a is the acceleration (in this case it is gravity)
- v₀ is the initial velocity
- h₀ is the initial height
Given:
- a = -9.81 (if it wasn't given in your textbook, you can look it up)
- v₀ = 12
- h₀ = 3
Since we are trying to find out when it lands on the ground, h(t) = 0
EQUATION: 0 = 9.81t² + 12t + 3
Use the quadratic equation to find the x-intercepts
a=-9.81, b=12, c=3
