Solving word problems using Antiderivatives?

I need to solve this problem using anti derivatives.

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 120 ft/s what is the height of the cliff?

I found a(t)=-9.8 v(t)=-9.8t and s(t)=-4.9t^2+c but I can't figure out what the c is.

    g = 9.80 one m/s^2 a) d(t) = 450 - (a million/2)gt^2 b) 0 = 450 - (a million/2)gt^2 c) Take the by-manufactured from d(t) to get v(t) d'(t) = v(t) = - gt d) d(t) = 450 - (a million/2)gt^2 + 5t. Set d(t) = 0 and resolve for t
