Let’s check out your problem:

A piece of ice falls off the side of a glacier and into the ocean. Its height above the ocean in meters can be modeled by the expression $33 - 4.9t^2$, where $t$ is the time in seconds after the piece of ice begins to fall.$\newline$What does the quantity $4.9t^2$ represent in the expression?$\newline$Choices:$\newline$(A)the time in seconds it takes for the piece of ice to reach a height of $t$ meters$\newline$(B)the distance in meters the piece of ice has fallen after $t$ seconds$\newline$(C)the time in seconds it takes for the piece of ice to fall $t$ meters$\newline$(D)the height in meters of the piece of ice above the ocean after $t$ seconds$\newline$
