You and a friend are doing physics experiments by launching rocks into the air with a sling shot. While you sit in your dorm room looking out the window, your friend shoots rocks vertically upward pass your window. You are able to determine that for one shot, it takes 0.15 s to pass your window, which is 2.0 m tall. If the bottom of your window is 8.0 m off the ground (from where the rocks are being shot), what was the launch speed of the rock? What is the maximum height reached by the rock?
