Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determined by the equation d = 144 – 16t2, where t is the number of seconds it takes the car to travel down to each point on the ride. For which interval of time is Greg’s car moving in the air?
