An object is thrown upward at a speed of 191 feet per second by a machine from a height of 11 feet off the ground. The height h of the object after t seconds can be found using the equation h = -16t^2 + 191t + 11. When will the height be 256 feet? When will the object reach the ground?

Solve. An object is thrown upward from a height of $24 \mathrm{ft}$. The height $h$ of the object (in feet) $t$ sec after the object is released is given by $h=-16 t^{2}+24 t+24$ a) How long does it take the object to reach a height of $8 \mathrm{ft} ?$ b) How long does it take the object to hit the ground?
