Problem 1
Determine the velocity of the ball after t seconds which is launched straight up from the top of a building with an initial speed of 40 ft/s from a height of 60 ft above the ground. The height (in feet) of the ball above the ground t seconds after it is launched is given by the equation h(t)=−16t2+40t+60.
