Question

A ball is dropped from the top of a building that is 250 feet tall. The

Answer 1

hi

-16t²+250 = 75

-16t² = 75 -250

-16t² = -175

  t² = -175 /-16

 t² = 175/16

Here there si two solutions :  t = $\sqrt{175/16}$   and  t =  - $\sqrt{175/16}$

However, as time cannot rewind,  we will  keep only positive solution

So t = $\sqrt{175/16}$

   

in seconds  it will be  :  3.3 seconds
