Golf Ball

Hannah tees off a golf ball. The equation y=-5x^2 + 30x describes its flight height y (in m) as a function of time x (in s). Calculate the zeros of the function and explain what the zeros say about the flight of the golf ball.

Law of gravity

The Italian Galileo Galilei discovered the law of gravity. The distance s in meters that a body falls in t seconds is approximately s = 5 t². He verified his law on the Pisa Sharp Tower, which is 54 m high (see picture). a.) How long does the stone fall from the top to the bottom? b.)From what height do you have to drop a stone so that it reaches the ground in 2s? Round to 2 decimal places.
