4. A stone is thrown straight down from the observation deck of a tall building 450 meters above the ground at a speed of 5 meters/sec. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is a constant function -9.8 m2. (1) Find the distance of the stone above the ground at time t, i.e. its position at time t. (2) When does the stone Hit the ground? At what speed does it hit the ground?
