A ball is given a downward velocity of 8 ft/sec from a height of 120 ft above the ground. (a) When will it reach the ground and with what velocity will it strike the ground? 2.5 sec, 88 ft/sec (b) How much lower must one stand in order to drop a ball and have it reach the ground at the same as the first ball? 20 ft (c) With what velocity will the second ball strike the ground? 80 ft/sec (d) What is the significance of the negative sign of -3 seconds obtained in (a)? Hint. Substitute t = -3 in your velocity equation. Then solve this problem. If a ball is thrown upward from the ground with a velocity of 88 ft/sec, how high will it go; at what height will its velocity be 8 ft/sec downward; when will it reach this height and velocity?
