If an object is dropped from a 192-foot-high building, its position (in feet above the ground) is given by s(t) = - 16t2 + 192, where t is the time in seconds since it was dropped. a. What is its velocity 1 second after being dropped? b. When will it hit the ground? c. What is its velocity upon impact?
