Math Problem Statement
A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 128 feet tall with an initial velocity of 112 feet per second. The distance s (in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is s equals 128 plus 112 t minus 16 t squared . (a) After how many seconds does the ball strike the ground? (b) After how many seconds will the ball pass the top of the building on its way down? Question content area bottom Part 1 (a) After how many seconds does the ball strike the ground? t =
