How to find when the value is 0 in an array?

Im plotting a graph of X against Y and i want to know the value of X when Y = 0. I have tried to use the find command and doing find(Y==0) but because in the array there is no exact zero number (goes to 0.00024 then to negative) it wont return anything.
Y = (U_y .* time) - (0.5 .* g .* (time).^2) + handles.Height;
Index = find(Y==0)
X_point = X(Index)

[~, Index] = min(abs(Y));
The zero crossing will be between the point at Index and the next point over in one of the two directions.
You could also use
mask = Y > 0;
% goes from positive to negative ?
Index = find(Y(1:end-1) & ~Y(2:end));
if isempty(Index);
% goes from negative to positive ?
Index = find(~Y(1:end-1) & Y(2:end));
end
if isempty(Index)
%no zero crossing
end

The script should probably be
mask = Y > 0;
% goes from positive to negative ?
Index = find(mask(1:end-1) & ~mask(2:end));
if isempty(Index);
% goes from negative to positive ?
Index = find(~mask(1:end-1) & mask(2:end));
end
if isempty(Index)
%no zero crossing
end
