Answer: the golf ball with hit the ground again after 2.75 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The movement of the golf ball from the ground follows the equation h(t)=-16t^2+44t,
where t is the time in seconds, and h(t) is the height of the ball at a given time t
By the time the golf ball hit the ground, the height from the ground would be zero. This means that we would equate the quadratic equation to zero. It becomes
-16t^2+44t = 0
Dividing both sides by t
16t^2/t = 44t/t
16t = 44
t = 44/16
t = 2.75
