For this case we have the following equation:
 h (t) = - 12t2 + 36t
 When the object hits the ground we have:
 - 12t2 + 36t = 0
 We look for the roots of the polynomial:
 t1 = 0
 t2 = 3
 Therefore, the time it takes the object to hit the ground is:
 t = 3 s
 Answer:
 
the time when the object hits the ground is:
 
t = 3 s

Answer:

3 seconds is the time when the object hits the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of a free falling object at time t can be found using the function is given by:

h(t)=-12t^2+36t         ....[1]

where,

h(t) is the height in feet

t is the in seconds.

We have to find the time when the object hits the ground.

⇒h(t) = 0

Substitute this in [1] we have;

-12t^2+36t =0

⇒12t^2-36t = 0

⇒12t(t-3) = 0

⇒t = 0 and t = 3

Since, time cannot be 0.

⇒t = 3 seconds

Therefore, the time when the object hits the ground is, 3 seconds

ANSWER:

The probability is 0.25

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

In this case, we must take into account the number of children who have brown eyes and black hair.

If we look at the table we can see that it is 0.25, that is, if there are 100 children, 25 have these characteristics, therefore

p=\frac{25}{100}=0.25
