Question

analyzing tables analyzing projectile motion represented by a table the table relates to a function h(t) that models the height of a rock t seconds after it is dropped. when does the rock hit the ground? the rock hits the ground between seconds and seconds after it is dropped

Explanation:

Step1: Identify when height is zero or changes sign

The rock hits the ground when \(h(t)=0\). Looking at the table, the height \(h(t)\) changes sign from positive to negative between \(t = 2\) and \(t=2.5\) seconds. When \(t = 2\), \(h(2)=0.4\) (above - ground) and when \(t = 2.5\), \(h(2.5)=- 10.6\) (below - ground).

Answer:

2; 2.5
