Answer:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function that represents the motion of a freely falling ballast bag that starts from a resting position on a balloon 1000 feet above the ground is given by the equation h(t) = -16t^2 + 1000, where h(t) is the height of the ballast bag in feet at time t seconds after it is released, and -16t^2 represents the effect of gravity on the ballast bag as it falls.
