Longxi+International+Hotel+-+P+Muggeo

The Longxi International Hotel stands 1,082 feet above ground, being the 17th tallest building in China. The hotel took less than 4 years to build and cost about 470 million US dollars. The hotel also offers its guests a rooftop pool, mall, theater, revolving restaurant, and spa.



While standing by the rooftop pool I wanted to take a picture of the view, but forgot my camera in my car. I yelled down to my friend in the parking lot to ask if she would throw it up to the roof. If she throws my camera up with an initial velocity of 450ft/sec, how long will it take for the camera to reach me at the pool?

OH NO! I dropped my camera off the roof of the building! Lucky for me my friend was still down in the parking lot. How long will it take for my camera to reach her in the parking lot?
