A ball is thrown vertically upward from a point 80 ft above the ground with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. (a) Find how fast is the ball moving when it is 128 ft above the ground. (b) Find the time it would take the ball to reach the maximum height. (c) Find the velocity of the ball before it hits the ground.
