An object is dropped from a tower, 1296 ft above the ground. The object's height above the ground t seconds after it is dropped is s(t) = 1296 - 16t². Determine the velocity and acceleration of the object the moment it reaches the ground. The velocity of the object the moment it reaches the ground is (Simplify your answer.) ft/s. The acceleration of the object the moment it reaches the ground is (Simplify your answer.) ft/s²
