The height h, in feet, of a projectile t seconds after launch is modeled by the equation h = 32t- 16t^2. How long after does the projectile return to the ground?
Added by Michael Z.
Step 1
The equation given, h = 32t - 16t^2, represents the height of a projectile at any time t seconds after it is launched. We need to find the time t when the projectile returns to the ground. This means we need to find the value of t when h = 0 (height is zero, Show more…

A projectile is thrown upward so that its distance above the ground after t seconds is h = -12t^2 + 528t. After how many seconds does it reach its maximum height?
Supreeta N.
The height of a projectile fired upward is given by the formula s = v0t - 16t^2, where s is the height, v0 is the initial velocity, and t is the time. Find the time for a projectile to return to Earth if it has an initial velocity of 248 ft/s. Answer should be in seconds.

The height in feet of a projectile launched vertically from the ground with an initial velocity $v_{0}$ in feet per second is given by the formula $h=-16 t 2+v 0 t,$ where $t$ represents time in seconds. For each problem, calculate the height of the projectile given the following initial velocity and times. $v=64$ feet/second, at times $t=0,1,2,3,4$ seconds
