An egg is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. The egg just misses the cornice on the way down and passes a point 30.0 m below its starting point 5.00 s after it leaves the thrower’s hand. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the initial speed of the egg? (b) How high does it rise above its starting point? (c) What is the magnitude of its velocity at the highest point? (d) What are the magnitude and direction of its acceleration at the highest point? (e) Sketch a y − t , υ y − t , and y − t graphs for the motion of the egg.

A ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a building. A second ball is dropped from the roof a time of 1.12 s later. You may ignore air resistance.
If the height of the building is 20.4 m, what must the initial speed be of the first ball if both are to hit the ground at the same time?
Consider the same situation, but now let the initial speed v0 of the first ball be given and treat the height h of the building as an unknown. What must the height of the building be for both balls to reach the ground at the same time for v0 = 8.50 m/s.
If v0 is greater than some value vmax, a value of h does not exist that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for vmax.
If v0 is less than some value vmin, a value of h does not exist that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for vmin.
Given:An egg is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the way down and passes a point a distance 36.0 m below its starting point at a time 5.00 s after it leaves the thrower's hand. Air resistance may be ignored.Asked:what is the initial speed?How High does it move above the starting point?
A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and her takeoff point is 1.80 m above the pool.
