Math Problem Statement
Consider the position function for free-falling objects. s(t) = −16t2 + v0t + s0 A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a 407-foot building with an initial velocity of −19 feet per second. Give the corresponding position function s(t). How many seconds does it take the ball to fall 102 feet? What is its velocity (in ft/s) after falling 102 feet?
