Question

A stone is thrown straight down from the edge of a roof, 1125 feet above the ground, at a speed of 9 feet per second.

A. Remembering that the acceleration due to gravity is -32 feet per second squared, how high is the stone 6 seconds later?

B. At what time does the stone hit the ground?

C. What is the velocity of the stone when it hits the ground?
 
- I answered a question where the stone is thrown up but I don't know what to do with this question. I know there is a -1125 somewhere but where do I put it?
