A rock is shot vertically up froma building and starts falling back to Earth after 1.60 seconds. After 6.00 seconds, it hits the ground. Constant acelleration of 9.81 m / s^2.

a. What is initial velocity?

b. What is max height above building?

c. How tall is the building?

I got the following answer, I am unsure of them though:

a => 15.7 m / s
b => 12.6 m
c => 164 m

Could anyone tell me if my figures are correct?
Thank you.
