An object that is projected straight downward with initial velocity v feet per
\n" ); document.write( " second travels a distance s=vt+16t^2, where t = time in seconds.
\n" ); document.write( "If Ramón is standing on a balcony 84 feet above
\n" ); document.write( "the ground and throws a penny straight down
\n" ); document.write( "with an initial velocity of 10 feet per second, in
\n" ); document.write( "how many seconds will it reach the ground?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation for this would be:
\n" ); document.write( "(negative means down)
\n" ); document.write( "-16t^2 - 10t + 84 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "solve this using the quadratic equation, the positive solution: t = 2 sec \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
