ball is thrown vertically apart from the top of a building 288 feet tall with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second. The distance s (in feet) of the off from the ground after t seconds is s(t)=288+48t-16t^2 a) after how many seconds does the ball strike the ground? b) after how many seconds will the ball pass the top of the building on it way down?
