The particle is initially at 0,s(0)=0. It
moves to the right but slows down to a
stop at 1 whent=

,s
(
π

)
=1. It then
turns and moves to the left speeding up
until it reaches 0, whent=π,s(π)=0 and
continues to the left, but slowing down to
a stop at−1 whent=

It then turns around again, moving to the
right, speeding up to 0 whent= 2 π,
s(2π)=0.
- s(t)=− 16 t^2 +v 0 t+s 0
s 0 =height of building andv 0 =0.
Thus,s(t)=− 16 t^2 +s 0.
When the coin hits the ground,s(t)=0,
t= 10 .2. Thus, sets(t)= 0 ⇒
− 16 t^2 +s 0 = 0 ⇒−16(10.2)^2 +s 0 = 0
s 0 = 1664 .64 ft. The building is
approximately 1665 ft tall.
