Effects of Gravity on Earth

If a rock falls from a height of 20 meters on Earth, the height H, in meters, after x seconds is approximately H(x) = 20 - 4.9x^2.


A. What is the height of the rock when x = 1.3 seconds?


We are looking for H(1.3). Yes?


B. When is the height of the rock 5 meters?


We are looking for x when H(x) = 5 meters.


Yes?


C. When does the rock hit the ground?



We are looking for x when H(x) = 0.


Yes?
