Answer: The distance is 950 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the height from the ground after 5 seconds, you just need to replace t (time in seconds) with 5 and calculate the formula.

h/P(t) = -16 (5^2)+1350

= -16x25+1350

= -400+1350

=950 feet

The object is 950 feet from the ground after being dropped for 5 seconds.
