Question 1081015: I was given the formula h= -16t^2+vt+s to find the amount of time it would take for a ball dropped from 144 feet above the ground to hit the ground.
T- time
V- velocity
S- initial height
H- height
The velocity was not given. How do I solve?

.
The ball was dropped which means that the initial velocity was 0 (zero).

After this explanation, can you complete the solution on your own ??
