Ball Flight Time
The equation $ y = -4.9t^2 - 3.5t + 2.4 $ relates the height $ y $ (in meters) to the elapsed time $ t $ (in seconds) for a ball thrown downward at 3.5 meters per second from a height of 2.4 meters from the ground. In how many seconds will the ball hit the ground? Express your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.
