An object is dropped from a tower, 784 ft above the ground.

An object is dropped from a tower, 784 ft above the ground. The object's height above ground x seconds after the fall is s(x) = 784-16x². About how long does it take the object to hit the ground? What is the object's velocity at the moment of impact?
