Answer:

2.5s

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a function which tells us at what time the rock is at a certain height. What should be the height of this function when the rock hits the ground? 0, because it has no height, it's on the ground!

So let's plug in 0, and see what value we get for the time.

0 = 16t^2-100\\100 = 16t^2\\\frac{100}{16} = t^2\\

To solve for t we need to take the square root of both sides.

t = \sqrt{\frac{100}{16} } = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5s
