Please help.

Samantha threw an apple out of a window from the tenth floor of her apartment building. The equation y = -16t² +120 can be used to represent the fruit's height above the ground, where t represents time, in seconds, after she threw the apple. How long did it take the apple to hit the ground? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
The time must be in seconds.
