A hammer was dropped from the pocket of a constructor from a height of 288 ft building and falls toward the earth in a straight line.In t seconds the hammer drops a distance of s=32t^2 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "How many seconds after drop does the hammer hit the ground?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "s = 32t^2 = 288
\n" ); document.write( "t^2 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "t = 3 seconds.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "However, I don't think s = 32t^2 is correct on Earth.
\n" ); document.write( "Its speed at t seconds = 32t ft/sec, but the distance is 16t^2 feet, usually descending is negative ----> -16t^2 feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
