Answer

t=2.56 seconds |v|=65.97 feet

Work Step by Step

It is given that, $v_0=16$ and $s(0)=64$. We know that, $s(t)=v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2+s(0)$ Putting in the values, $s(t)=16t -16t^2+64$ When it hits the ground, $s(t_0) = 0.$ $16t_0 -16t_0^2+64=0 $ or $-t_0^2+t_0+4=0$ or $t_0= \frac{1+\sqrt 17}{2} = 2.56$, discarding the negative value of t. $v(t) = \frac{ds(t)}{dt}=16 - 32t$ therefore,$ v(t_0) =16-32( \frac{1+\sqrt 17}{2}) = -65.97$
