1. A student throws a set of keys vertically upward to her sorority sister, who is in a window 4.20 m above. The second student catches the keys 2.20 s later. a. With what initial velocity (magnitude and direction) were the keys thrown? b. What was the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the keys just before they were caught?
