An object is projected vertically upward with an initial velocity of v0 ft/sec, and its distance s(t) in feet above the ground after t seconds is given by the formula s(t) = −16t2 + v0t. (a) If the object hits the ground after 8 seconds, find its initial velocity v0. v0 = ft/sec (b) Find its maximum distance above the ground. s(t) = ft
