Use the formula h = −16t2 + v0t. (if an answer does not exist, enter dne.) a ball is thrown straight upward at an initial speed of v0 = 56 ft/s. (a) when does the ball initially reach a height of 40 ft?

Using the given formula with v0=56 ft/s and h=40 ft
h = -16t2 + v0t
40 = -16t2 + 56t
16t2 - 56t + 40 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation:
t= (-b+/-(b^2-4ac)^1/2)/2a = (56+/-((-56)^2-4*16*40)^1/2)/2*16 = (56 +/- 24) / 32
We have two possible solutions
t1 = (56+24)/32 = 2.5
t2 = (56-24)/32 = 1
So initially the ball reach a height of 40 ft in 1 second.

Recall that the height of an object t seconds after it begins moving when gravity is the only force acting on the object is given by h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0, where h(t) is given in feet, v0 is the initial velocity

Britney throws an object straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 27 ft/s from a platform that is 10 ft above the ground. Use the formula h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 , where v0 is the initial velocity
