Problem 1

Determine the velocity of the ball after tt seconds which is launched straight up from the top of a building with an initial speed of 40 ft/s40\text{ ft/s} from a height of 60 ft60\text{ ft} above the ground. The height (in feet) of the ball above the ground tt seconds after it is launched is given by the equation h(t)=16t2+40t+60h(t)=-16t^2+40t+60.
