A baseball is hit at a height h = 1.00 m and caught at the same height. It travels along side a wall moving up past the top of the wall 1.00 s after it is hit and then down past the top of the wall 4.00 s later at distance D = 62 m further along the wall. Use g = 9.8 m/s/s.
What is the magnitude of the initial velocity?
A girl standing on a bridge throws a stone vertically downward with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s into the river below. If the stone hits the water 2.00 seconds later, what is the height of the bridge above the water?
