Siska hit a golf ball into the air with an initial velocity of 56 feet per second. the height h in feet of the ball above the ground can be modeled by h=-16t^{2}+56t, where t is the time in seconds after sisika hit the ball. find the time it takes the ball to reach 49 feet above the ground.

To find the time it takes for the ball to reach the given height, we need an equation that relates the height and time it travel which is given to be h=-16t^{2}+56t. We just substitute the height of 49 feet then solve for t. We do as follows:

h=-16t^{2}+56t
49 = -16t^{2}+56t
t = 1.75 seconds

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
