The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-\sqrt{9466.8}}{2*4.9}=\frac{0-\sqrt{9466.8}}{9.8}
=-\frac{\sqrt{}}{9.8}
$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+\sqrt{9466.8}}{2*4.9}=\frac{0+\sqrt{9466.8}}{9.8}
=\frac{\sqrt{}}{9.8}
