The height of a ball is h = 30t − 5t² metres. When will it return to the ground?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6 s

The ball is on the ground when its height h is zero. Set the given quadratic expression equal to zero: 30t − 5t² = 0. Factoring gives 5t(6 − t) = 0, so t = 0 or t = 6 seconds. The value t = 0 represents the instant of launch, when the ball is initially at ground level; the question asks when it returns, so the relevant time is t = 6 seconds. Therefore option C is correct. The quadratic model also shows that the height is positive between t = 0 and t = 6 and becomes zero again at t = 6. The other choices are not roots of the height equation and therefore do not represent ground contact.
