PLEASE HELP SOON I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS QUIZ

Chuck drops a rock from a height of 70 m. How long will it take the rock to hit the ground?

Use the formula h(t)=−4.9t^2+v0t+h0, where v0 is the initial velocity and h0 is the initial height.

Round to the nearest tenth of a second. Enter your numeric answer.

1. h₀ = 70

v₀ = 0 since the rock is dropped it has no initial velocity

when the rock hits the ground the height = 0

plug into the formula

0 = -4.9t² + 0(t) + 70

0 = -4.9t² + 70

Add 4.9t² to both sides

4.9t² = 70

Divide both sides by 4.9

t² = 14.2857142857

Take the square root of both sides

t = 3.7796447301

t ≈ 3.8 seconds

I am not doing the rest I only did one just to help you understand a bit more
