Answer:

The height of the ball after 5 seconds is 162 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, replace the variable t with how many seconds the ball has dropped, which in this case is 5.

$h = 512 - 14 {t}^(2) \\ h = 512 - 14 * {5}^(2)$

Solve.

$h = 512 - 14 * {5}^(2) \\ h = 512 - 14 * 25 \\ h = 512 - 350 \\ h = 162$

For a duration of 5 seconds, the ball had managed to drop 350 feet, with 162 feet left to go to touch ground level.
