You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.672.67 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.1860.186 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high ℎ0h0 above the ground was the acorn before it fell, assuming that the acorn did not run into any branches or leaves on the way down?

A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, hh, in feet, tt seconds after it's shot is given by the equation: h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89 Find the two points in time when the object is 126 feet above the ground (to one decimal places). Answer: The object is 126 feet off the ground at the following times: (Enter your two answers separated by a comma. Round to ONE decimal places.)
