Well the problem im trying to solve is A ball is dropped from a bridge 150 feet above a river. How long will it take for the ball to hit the surface of the water?

OpenStudy (callisto):

\[s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2\] s = displacement u = initial velocity t = time a = acceleration, in this case, acceleration due to gravity. Not sure if this helps. Also, if this is a Physics question, please post it in the Physics group. Thanks!
