Question

A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a 482-foot building with an initial velocity of -15 feet per second. Use the position function below for free-falling objects.

s(t) = -16t2 + v0t + s0
What is its velocity after 4 seconds?
v(4) =   ft/s

What is its velocity after falling 189 feet?
v =   ft/s
 
I found the answer for the first part, which is -143 ft/sec. When I solved the second one, I got -137.88, and it says that is incorrect. So i need help with the second question please
