    Answer: It will land on the bush after 1.25 seconds.

    First, we will start with what we are given the equation: h (t) = - 16t^2 + 30

    Now, we should input a 5 for the h (t) because we want the seconds that will give us a height of 5 seconds.

    5 = - 16t^2 + 30

    Solve the equation:

    0 = - 16t^2 + 25

    To solve this, you could use the quadratic formula or factor out a - 1 and you will have the difference of two squares.

    Either way the answer is 1.25 seconds.
