Question 20 • Algebra II

An egg is dropped from a height of 90 feet If acceleration due to gravity is negative 16 the fraction with numerator ft and denominator s squared and initial velocity is 0 ft/s , approximately how long will it take for the egg to reach the ground? h of t is equal to A t squared plus v t plus h sub 0

Answer
A
1 point 9 s
B
9 point 7 s
C
2 point 4 s
D
40 point 7 s

Explanation

Use the height equation with acceleration −16 ft/s², initial velocity 0 ft/s, and starting height 90 ft: h(t) = −16t² + 90. At the ground, h(t) = 0, so 16t² = 90 and t = √(90/16) ≈ 2.37 seconds. The egg takes approximately 2.4 seconds to reach the ground, which is choice C.
