for a projectile launched from a cliff to a valley below, the following solution for time comes from a quadratic equation. how long does ut tale for the projectile to reach its highest point in seconds
Added by Christine B.
Step 1
We need to find the time it takes for the projectile to reach its highest point. This involves analyzing the motion of the projectile under the influence of gravity. Show more…

If a projectile lands at the ground in a certain amount of time (t), approximately when will the projectile reach its maximum height?

A projectile is thrown upward so that its distance above the ground after t seconds is given by the function h(t) = -16t^2 + 640t. After how many seconds does the projectile take to reach its maximum height? Show your work for full credit.

A projectile is launched from a point above the ground. The height at ground level is given by the equation h = -3t^2 + 24t, where h is the height in meters and t is the time in seconds. How many seconds after the launch will the projectile hit the ground? What is the maximum height it can reach? How long will it take to reach the maximum height?
