Answer:
It will take 1.25 seconds to reach the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the containers pathway can be modeled by the equation given below :
[tex]h=-16t^2+25[/tex]
t is time in seconds
It is required to find the time taken by the container to reach the ground. When it reached ground, its height is equal to 0 such that,
[tex]h=0\\\\-16t^2+25=0[/tex]
[tex]-16t^2=25\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{25}{16}} \\\\t=1.25\ s[/tex]
So, it will take 1.25 seconds to reach the ground.
