A stone is dropped of a 1296-ft-cliff. The height of the stone above the ground is given by the equation h= - 16t^2+1296, where h is the stone’s height in feet, and t is the time in seconds after the stone is dropped. Find the time required for the stone to hit the ground.
When stone hits the ground, it's height will be zero, and since we're finding the time that's required for the stone to hit the ground, we can set h = 0 and solve for t.
