Question

A golf ball is hit from the ground with an initial velocity of 208 feet per second. Assume the starting height of the ball is 0 feet. How long will it take the golf ball to hit the ground?

A.) 42 secs
B.) 21 secs
C.) 6 secs
D.) 13 secs

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 13, because if you use the formula that you learned, Simplify and then turn the factors to 0 to get the answer.

H(t)= -16t^2 - 208t

H(t)= -16t(t-13)

-16t/-16= 0/16= t=0

t-13=0

t=13

Answer 2

It will take 13 seconds for the golf ball to hit the ground. The correct answer between all the choices given is the last choice or letter D.
