An object fell off the building from an altitude of 600ft with a velocity of 50 ft/sec. A) Write an equation of motion using the equation s = -16t² + vot + S, where s represents the height of an object (in feet), vọ represents the initial velocity of the object (in feet per second), so represents the initial height of the object (in feet), and t represents the time (in seconds). B) Find the velocity of an object at 1 sec and 3 sec. C) How long does an object take to hit the ground?

In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
