An object is launched vertically from the ground. Its engine provides constant upward acceleration during the the first part of its motion. At this instant, the object has reached 22 meters then acquires an upward velocity of 48 m/s. The engine is then turned off and the object continues to move upward and then falls back to the ground. The maximum height reached by the object is how many meters from the ground?

An object is thrown vertically upwards by a person’s hands. While it is in contact with their hand, the object has an acceleration of ?=(2.00t^2+12.0t) m/s^2, with an initial velocity of zero. It is in contact with the person’s hands for 1.2 s. How high above the point of release does this object go? Ignore the air resistance and height change due to the motion of the hand.
A rock is thrown, from the edge of a building of height h (with respect to the ground), vertically upwards with a speed V1a = 10.0 m/s.
