A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 144 feet tall with an initial velocity of 128 feet per second. The distance s (in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is s=144+128t−16t2. (a) After how many seconds does the ball strike the ground? (b) After how many seconds will the ball pass the top of the building on its way down?

Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.
