PHYSICS—ENGINEERING If a projectile is shot vertically into the air (from the ground) with an initial velocity of 176 feet per second, its distance y (in feet) above the ground t seconds after it is shot is given by y = 176t − 16t2 (neglecting air resistance).

(A) Find the times when y is 0, and interpret the results physically.


(B) Find the times when the projectile is 16 feet off the ground. Compute answers to two decimal places.
