Need help with a velocity problem?

The Grand Canyon is 1600m deep at it's deepest point. A rock is dropped from the rim above this point. Derive the equations for the rock's velocity u(t), and height s(t) by integration (start with a(t)= -9.8 m/sec^2). How long will it take until the rock hits the canyon floor? What will its velocity be at this time?
