When a soccer ball is kicked into the air, how long will the ball take to hit the ground? The height h in feet of the ball after t seconds can be modeled by the projectile quadratic function h(t) = –16t2 + 32t. In this situation, the value of the function represents the height of the soccer ball. When the ball hits the ground, the value of the function is zero.

A football is kicked from ground level with an initial vertical velocity of 48 ft/s. How long is the ball in the air?
h(t) = –16t2 + v0t + h0
Write the general projectile function.
h(t) = –16t2 + 48t + 0
Substitute 48 for v0 and 0 for h0.
The ball will hit the ground when its height is zero.
–16t2 + 48t = 0
Set h(t) equal to 0.
–16t(t – 3) = 0
Factor: The GCF is –16t.
–16t = 0 or (t – 3) = 0
Apply the Zero Product Property.
t = 0 or t = 3
Solve each equation.
The football will hit the ground after 3 seconds. Notice that the height is also zero when t = 0, the instant that the football is hit.

12. Relevance
Understanding projectile motion is important to many engineering designs. Any engineered design that includes a projectile, an object in motion close to the Earth's surface subject to gravitational acceleration, requires an understanding of the physics involved in projectile motion. This includes machines such as motocross bikes made for launching off jumps to weapons such as missiles, turrets and high-powered cannons. NASA engineers apply projectile motion concepts as they predict meteorite paths that may enter the Earth's atmosphere or disrupt satellite transmissions. The combination of a physical understanding of projectile motion and the mathematical ability to solve equations enables engineers to predict the projectile trajectories.
