Question:
An object dropped off the top of a tall building falls vertically with constant acceleration. If s is the distance of the object above the ground (in feet) t seconds after its release, then s and t are related by an equation of the form s = a + bt2, where a and b are constants. Suppose the object is 180 feet above the ground 1 second after its release and 132 feet above the ground 2 seconds after its release.
(A) Find the constants a and b.
(B) How tall is the building?
(C) How long does the object fall?
