A stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, 100 m above the ground. (Assume g = 9.8 m/s2.)

(a) Find the distance (in meters) of the stone above ground level at time t.

h(t) = −4.9t2+100

(b) How long does it take the stone to reach the ground? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(d) If the stone is thrown downward with a speed of 6 m/s, how long does it take to reach the ground? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
