A dolphin jumps out of the water with an initial velocity of 20 feet per
second (assume its starting height is O feet). Use the vertical motion
model, h = - 16t2 + vt +8, where v is the initial velocity in feet per
second and s is the height in feet, to calculate the amount of time the
dolphin is in the air before it hits the water again. Round your answer
to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Time in air: seconds
The equation would be h(t)=-16t^2+20t+8 since 20 is the velocity, and once you input that onto a graph the answer of when it hits the ground is 1.569 seconds, so rounded is 1.6 seconds.
