The ball will hit the ground at 0.125 seconds
<h3>
Quadratic function</h3>
The equation of the function is a quadratic function, and the function is given as:

When the ball hits the ground, the value of h is 0.
So, the equation of the function becomes

Subtract 2t from both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by -2t

Divide both sides by 8

Hence, the ball will hit the ground at 0.125 seconds
