A soccer ball is kicked from the ground with an initial upward velocity of 90 feet per second. The equation h=-16t² + 90t gives the height h of the ball after t seconds.
How many seconds will it take the ball to hit the ground?

• 126.56 ft
• 5.625 sec
• 2.81 sec
• 0 ft

A soccer ball is kicked from the ground with an initial upward velocity of 90 feet per second. The equation h=-16t² + 90t gives the height h of the ball after t seconds.

An object in launched directly upward at 64 feet per second (ft/s) from a platform 80 feet high. Its height is represented by the equation 
s(t) = –16t² + 64t + 80.
What will be the object's maximum height? 

• 2 ft
• 80 ft
• 144 ft
• 64 ft

If a toy rocket is launched vertically upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 128 feet per second, then its height h after t seconds is given by the equation
h(t) = -16t² +128t  
When will the object reach its maximum height?

• 4 ft
• 0 seconds
• 0 ft
• 4 seconds

Jason launched a rocket for a physics experiment. This equation can be used to find the height (h), in feet, of the rocket after t seconds. 
h = -16t2 + 288t + 8
How many seconds will it take for the rocket to reach a height of 1,304 feet? 

• 9.0 seconds 
• 9.6 seconds
• 81.0 seconds
• 82.0 seconds

A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 100 ft/s. Its height, h, after t seconds is given by the function

• 10 seconds
• 64 seconds
• 960 seconds
• 2 seconds
