The height, in feet, of an object $x$ seconds after it is thrown straight up in the air can be modeled by the function $h(x)=-16x^{2}+20x+5$. Based on the model, which of the following statements best interprets the equation $h(1.4)=1.64$ ?
Difficulty: Medium
A:
The height of the object $1.4$ seconds after being thrown straight up in the air is $1.64$ feet.
B:
The height of the object $1.64$ seconds after being thrown straight up in the air is $1.4$ feet.
C:
The height of the object \(1.64\) seconds after being thrown straight up in the air is approximately \(1.4\) times as great as its initial height.
D:
The speed of the object $1.4$ seconds after being thrown straight up in the air is approximately $1.64$ feet per second.
