It is named after real estate developer and famous celebrity Donald Trump. You may have seen Trump in television shows such as "The apprentice." The architect that built this Tower is named Adrian Smith. This 98 story monster is known as one of the largest buildings in the world. In 2001, the architects set out for Trump Tower to be the tallest building in the world, but after the 9/11 attacks they decided it would be more wise to stop the building and keep it at this still spectacular height. Trump International Hotel and Tower is the second tallest building in America at **1,362 ft** tall!

__**Question 1:**__ Donald Trump was curious. He wondered how long it would take for a tennis ball he owned to reach the ground if he threw if from the top of his building at 15 ft/sec. If he does throw at the right speed, how long should it take for the tennis ball to hit the ground?

__**Question 2:**__ After Donald throws the first ball down the building he decides that is was fun and wants to do it again. His assistant is at the bottom of the building has a super-strong tennis ball shooter and shoots the ball right back to Donald. If it takes 13 seconds for the tennis ball to reach the top of the building, at what speed was it launched?
