It will take the roller coaster 171.652 seconds to pass over the hill and reach ground level
How to determine the time to hit the ground?
The function is given as:
h = –.025t^2 + 4t + 50
Set h = 0.
So, we have:
–.025t^2 + 4t + 50 = 0
Using a graphing calculator, we have:
t = -11.652 and t = 171.652
Time cannot be negative.
So, we have:
t = 171.652
Hence, it will take the roller coaster 171.652 seconds to pass over the hill and reach ground level
