One of the kinematic equations can be used to find the time it takes for the object to hit the ground, assuming that it is thrown upwards and then falls.
We will use positive values to indicate a downward direction for the given problem.

To solve for the time it takes for the object to hit the ground, you can use the equation:
[ t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} ]
where:
- ( t ) is the time taken,
- ( h ) is the initial height (12 m in this case),
- ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately ( 9.8 , \text{m/s}^2 )).
Plugging in the values:
[ t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 12 , \text{m}}{9.8 , \text{m/s}^2}} ]
[ t ≈ \sqrt{\frac{24}{9.8}} ]
[ t ≈ \sqrt{2.45} ]
[ t ≈ 1.57 , \text{s} ]
So, it will take approximately 1.57 seconds for the object to hit the ground.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- A projectile is shot from the ground at a velocity of #32 m/s# and at an angle of #(3pi)/4#. How long will it take for the projectile to land?
- How is acceleration related to force?
- An object has a mass of #2 kg#. The object's kinetic energy uniformly changes from #18 KJ# to # 54KJ# over #t in [0,12s]#. What is the average speed of the object?
