A ball is being dropped from the top of a building so that its height above ground after t seconds is (-I6t^2 + 94) feet. Find the velocity of the ball at the moment when it is 13 feet above ground.

22m/s
it says that the answer is -72 ft/sec but I don't know how to get that answer
V(t)=d/dt{h(t)}
13=-16t2+94 is given from that you will get t as 9/4 sec put this time in above equation
h(t) = (-16t^2 + 94) when h(t) = 13 we have: -16t^2 + 94 = 13 => -16t^2 = -81 => t^2 = 81/16 and hence t = 9/4 ( discard negative solution of t). v(t) = h'(t) = -32t Hence v(t = 9/4) is : -32(9/4) = -72.
yup
perfect, thanks for both your help!
