Every fall the Physics club holds an annual egg-drop contest. This year there were only 2 contestants. The first contestant used a method that yields the following equation: h(t) = -16° +64 where t is the time in seconds and his the height of the egg after t seconds. The second contestant used a
method that yields the following equation: h(t) = -1662 - 8t +64 where t is the time in seconds and his the height of the egg after t seconds. If the egg
hits the ground in 1.5 seconds or less, then it will break. Whose egg will not break? Explain.
Contestant
egg will not break because it will take
to hit the ground.
