Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
50 = -16t^2 + 64t + 4
-16t^2 +64t -46 = 0
-8t^2 + 32t -23 = 0
t = -32/-16 + (1/16)sqr(32^2 -4(8)(23)) = 2 + or - 1.06
it reaches max height at t = 32/16 = 2 seconds
max height = 68 feet
it reaches 50 feet on the way up at 0.94 seconds and on the way down at 3.06 seconds. IF you had to choose one time, 0.94 probably is what you want.
