Chapter 3, Problem 9E
At what time does the ball in exercise 7 reach the high point in its flight? (Use the approximate value of g = 10 m/s2, and remember that the velocity is equal to zero at the highest point.)

Suppose you throw a baseball straight up into the air at t = 0. The ball reaches a maximum height of 22.5 meters above its starting position. Ignore air resistance for this problem. (a) What was the initial velocity of the ball at the moment it left your hand? Hint: the velocity goes to zero at the highest point of the motion. (b) At what time (in seconds) did the ball reach its maximum height? (c) If you threw the ball up into the air with double the initial velocity that you found in part (a), how high would it go?
The tallest tree in a California national park is 112 m tall. Suppose that a ball is thrown downward from the top of that tree with a certain initial velocity. As the ball accelerates due to gravity (-9.81 m/s/s), it takes 3.856 s to hit the ground. With what initial velocity was the ball thrown toward the ground? (Hint: note the direction of the ball's drop when considering its displacement)
A person throws a ball upward into the air with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s.
(a) Calculate how long does it takes to reach its maximum height?
(b) Calculate how high it goes?
(c) Calculate how long the ball is in the air before it comes back to the hand. Ignore air resistance.
(d) Calculate the velocity of the ball when it returns to the thrower’s hand (point C in figure)
