5 seconds to hit the ground
how high was the building where they dropped it?
d(t) = -16t^2 + vot + do where do = the initial height, and vo = 0 = initial velocity
d(5) = 0 = -16(5)^2 + do
do = 16(25) = 400 feet = initial height where they dropped the penny at time t=0, hitting the ground 5 seconds later, at time t=5
