Assume gravity is 32 ft/s² and no external forces (ex: wind resistance). If you Jump off a 35 ft building with a vertical upward component of 2.6 ft/s how long until you land on the ground below? (round to the nearest hundredth) Hint: Remember the equation is H (t) = P. + vt − ½gt² is the height equation, so you are looking for the positive root of this equation.

Question
Assume gravity is 32 ft/s² and no external forces (ex: wind resistance). If
you Jump off a 35 ft building with a vertical upward component of 2.6
ft/s how long until you land on the ground below?
(round to the nearest hundredth)
Hint: Remember the equation is H (t) = Po + vot - gt² is the
height equation, so you are looking for the positive root of this equation
