The following equation models a rock that is thrown upward from an elevation of 4.9 feet at a speed of 63.2 feet per second. The variable h represents the height in feet, and
represents the time in seconds.
h= –1672 + 63.2t + 4.9
The rock reaches 50 feet on its way up, and again on its way down.
How long does it take the rock to reach 50 feet on its way down? Round your answer to 1
decimal places.
3.0 seconds
13.2 seconds
0.9 seconds
