Solve the problem.
-As part of a physics experiment, Ming drops a baseball from the top of a 310-foot building. To the nearest tenth of a second, for how many seconds will the baseball fall? (Hint: Use the formula h = 16t², which gives the distance h, in feet, that a free-falling object travels in t seconds.)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the formula h = 16t^2, set h = 310 and solve for t: 310 = 16t^2. Solving gives t ≈ 4.4 seconds.
