Question 8

Multiple Choice

Solve.
-A ball is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 42 meters per second from a cliff that is 100 meters high. The height of the ball is given by the quadratic equation h=4.9t242t+120h = - 4.9 t ^ { 2 } - 42 t + 120 where hh is in meters and tt is the time in seconds since the ball was thrown. Find the time that the ball will be 20 meters from the ground. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.


A) 2.02.0 seconds
B) 1.81.8 seconds
C) 2.92.9 seconds
