You can find the distance in feet that an object falls in t seconds using the expression $16 t^{2} .$ If you drop a ball from a tall building, how far does the ball fall in $3 \mathrm{s} ?$ $$ \begin{array}{llll}{\text { (F) } 16 \mathrm{ft}} & {\text { (G) } 48 \mathrm{ft}} & {\text { (H) } 96 \mathrm{ft}} & {\text { (I) } 144 \mathrm{ft}}\end{array} $$

Round your answer to the nearest tenth. A ball is thrown downward from the top of a cliff 1280 ft high so that the distance $d$ the ball has fallen (in feet) $t$ seconds after it is thrown is given by $$ d=75 t+16 t^{2} $$ How many seconds does it take for the ball to hit the ground?
Quadratic Equations
The Quadratic Formula
The velocity $v$ of a falling object is directly proportional to the time $t$ of the fall. If, after 2 seconds, the velocity of the object is 64 feet per second, what will its velocity be after 3 seconds?
