The gravitational pull of the Earth allows us to have a great equation to model height of dropped objects over time. The equation is this:

If Joe drops a ball from a height of 12 meters, when will it hit the ground?


Hints

  • means initial height.
  • If it hits the ground, then h(x) = 0.
  • Solve the equation.
  • This may also help!

Good luck Steemers! Teach your children well!
