<em>Note: As you missed to mention the given equation for t seconds and height h, so I am taking a sample equation h(t) =-16t² + 28t + 40. So, I am explaining your question based on this equation, which would anyways clear your query. </em>
Answer:
It will take <em>2 seconds</em> for the rocket to return to the ground when is the rocket 32 feet above ground.
<u><em>Note: Sample equation h(t) =-16t² + 28t + 40 was used to solve this problem, as you had not mentioned the equation.</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine:
How long will it take for the rocket to return to the ground when is the rocket 32 feet above ground?
<em>Information Fetching and solution steps:</em>
- Initial Velocity = 28 ft/s
- The equation for height h and second t is <em>h(t) = -16t² + 28t +40</em>
<em>So, </em>
Let us consider the equation <em>h(t) = -16t² + 28t + 40</em>
32 = -16t² + 28t + 40
To find out how long will it take for the rocket to return to the ground when is the rocket 32 feet above ground, plug in h(t) = 32ft, rearrange into quadratic form, and solve:
32 = -16t² + 28t + 40
0 = -16<em>t² + 28t + 8</em>
Step 1: Factor right side of equation
0 = −4(4t + 1)(t − 2)
−4(4t + 1)(t − 2) = 0
Step 2: Set factors equal to 0
4t + 1 = 0 or t − 2 = 0
t = -1/4 or t = 2
As t can not be negative, so t = 2 seconds.
Hence, it will take 2 seconds for the rocket to return to the ground when is the rocket 32 feet above ground.
