Apenny is dropped from the empire state building which is 1250 feet tall if the penny's pathway can be modeled by the equation h=-16t squared +1250 how long would it take the penny to strike a 6 fort tall person

It would take approximately 8.82 sec for a penny to strike the person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the building = 1250 feet

Height of the person = 6 feet.

Modeled equation is

We need to find the time required 't' for the penny to strike the person.

Solution:

to find the time required 't' for the penny to strike the person we will substitute;

h ⇒ height of the person.

So we get;

Now Combining the like terms we get;

Dividing both side by 16 using division property we get;

Now taking square root on both side we get;

Hence It would take approximately 8.82 sec for a penny to strike the person.
