A stone is thrown straight up from the edge of a roof, 750 feet above the ground at a speed of 14 feet per second. A) Remembering that the acceleration due to gravity is -32 feet per second squared, how high is the stone 2 seconds later? B) At what time does the stone hit the ground? C) What is the velocity of the stone when it hits the ground?
Step-by-step explanation:

C) What is the velocity of the stone when it hits the ground?
The answer is 5 because that sign around the -5 is the absolute value sign. What the absolute value sign does is it measures the distance from 0 the number is. Since the number -5 is 5 units away from the number 0, then y=5.
