a pumpkin was thrust vertically upward with a speed of 28 ft/s from the top of a 35 foot high cliff. They calculated that the height (h) of the pumpkin above the ground, in feet, after t seconds is given by the formula h=-7t2+28t+35. a. when will the pumpkin pass the top of the 35 foot cliff on its way back down? h=35 b. when will the pumpkin hit the ground? h=0
