Answer

$v(t)=-32t+24$

Work Step by Step

Define "up" as the positive direction of motion. Acceleration is the derivative of velocity $a(t)=v'(t)=-32\ \ \mathrm{f}\mathrm{t}/\mathrm{s}^{2}$ $v(t)=\displaystyle \int(-32)dt=-32t+C$ Given that $ v(0)=+24\qquad$(upward) $24=-32(0)+C$ $C=24$ Thus, $v(t)=-32t+24$
