\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Math sometimes operates in theoretical frameworks, which means you don't always have to strictly adhere to physics perfectly. \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The ball starts at time t = 0. Plug this into the height equation to find its starting height.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "s(t)=-3t^2 + 24t +60
\n" ); document.write( "s(0)=-3(0)^2 + 24(0) +60
\n" ); document.write( "s(0) = 60\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Effectively nearly everything cancels except for the 60 at the end.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: The building is 60 feet tall
\n" ); document.write( "If each floor is 10 ft, then this is a 6 story building (since 60/10 = 6).
