Solve the following problem involving a quadratic equation. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.A ball is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 14 meters per second from a cliff that is  high. The height of the ball is given by the quadratic equation  where h is in meters and t is the time in seconds since the ball was thrown. Find the time that the ball will be  from the ground.
