Question

Field hockey. A scoop in field hockey is a pass that propels the ball from the ground into the air. Suppose a player makes a scoop with an upward velocity of 30 feet per second. The function $$ h=-16 t^2+30 t $$ models the altitude or height $h$ in feet at time $t$ in seconds. Will the ball ever reach a height of 16 feet?

The motion of a ball scooped by a field hockey player can be modeled by h= - 16t^2 + 40t, where t is the time in seconds and h is the height of the ball. Will the ball ever reach 25 feet in the air?

A field hockey ball must stay below waist height (1 meter); otherwise, it is a dangerous ball. When Sally hits the ball, the function h(t) = -5t^2 + 10t models the shot. How long is the shot in the air? b. Is the shot dangerous? Explain.

Sports For Exercises 92 and $93,$ use the formula $h=v t-16 t^{2},$ where $h$ is the height in feet that an object will attain (neglecting air resistance) in $t$ seconds, and $v$ is the initial velocity in feet per second. A baseball player hits a "Baltimore chop." meaning the ball bounces off home plate after the batter hits it. The ball leaves home plate with an initial upward velocity of $32 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s} .$ How many seconds after the ball hits home plate will the ball be $16 \mathrm{ft}$ above the ground?

00:01 A ball leaves home plate with an initial upward velocity of 32 feet per second.
00:06 So right here, this is 32 feet per second.
00:10 How many seconds after the ball hits home plate will the ball be 16 feet above the ground? so when will it reach a height of 16 feet? and this is what i don't know.
00:20 So substituting that, that means i have 16 equals 32 times t minus 16t squared...
