Condelezza Watermelon Test Question

Can you believe it? When I was a kid I refused to eat watermelon on account of the black people love watermelon stereotype. Stereotypes freakin' suck. Then one day my whole family was eating watermelon, just like the caricatures, and they seemed so happy, just like the caricatures.

Living life to avoid being "stereotypical" sucks. Living life to maintain "stereotypes" sucks. Black is... Singlehood is... Being a woman is... Living in the midwest is... Going back to Cali because she misses the ocean well that's a theme.

Test Question at Issue:

Condoleezza holds a watermelon just over the edge of the roof of the 300-foot Federal Building, and tosses it up with a velocity of 20 feet per second. The height of the watermelon above the ground t seconds later is given by formula h= -16t2 + 20t + 300.

a. How many seconds will it pass her (she's standing at a height of 300 feet) on the way down?

b. When will the watermelon hit ground?
