Solve the Initial Value Problem 3. If a ball is dropped from 120 feet from the ground. How many seconds will it take the ball to hit the ground? Note: you will need to use the fact that acceleration due to gravity is –32 ft/sec² as well as that at zero seconds the velocity of the ball is zero as well as the height is 120 feet.
