A ball is thrown upward from the top of a building which is 96ft tall w/ Initial velocity of 80 ft per sec.

Question

Distance s(ft) of ball from the ground after t sec is s=96+80t-16t^(2)

1) how many sec. will the ball pass the top of the building when it is coming down?

How would I solve this?

Answer 1

set s(t) to 96 and solve.

96=96+80t-16t^2
solve for t

Answer 2

why would I set 96 for s(t) because that's the height of the building ?
but it's when the ball passes the top of the building

Also I tried solving it I got to
-16t(t-5)= 0 what should I do next

Answer 3

I finished solving it. thank you

Answer 4

riddle: my ones number is double my tens number, I'am less than 70 and more than 60

Answer 5

A ball is thrown vertically upward with velocity 100ft/sec and height of building is 40ft what is maximum height reached by ball and what is velocity when ball hits the ground
