Answer:

3 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are figuring out when the water balloon will hit the ground, y will need to be equal to 0.

0 = - 16t² - 16t + 96

Now we simply factor the trinomial to find t.

0 = -16(t² - t - 6)

0 = (t - 3)(t + 2)

t - 3 = 0 ⇒ t = 3

t + 2 = 0 ⇒ t = -2

Since we are referring to time, we need to use the positive value. Therefore, the water balloon will take 3 seconds to hit the ground.

Answer:

<h3>102. 66 feet / Second</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To do conversion change miles into feet and hour into second.

One foot is 5280 feet

And an hour is 3600sec

70 miles / Hour

70 * 5280feet / 3600 second

369600 feet / 3600seconds

Then simplify

102. 66 feet / Second
