If a projectile is launched vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 60 ft

Question:

If a projectile is launched vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 60 ft per sec, neglecting air resistance, its height s (in feet) above the ground t seconds after projection is given by

s = -16t2 + 60t.

Which equation should be used to determine the time at which the height of the projectile reaches 40 ft?

A. s = -16(40)2 + 60 

B. s = -16(40)2 + 60(40)

C. 40 = -16t2 + 60t 

D. 40 = -16t2
