A student throws a set of keys vertically upward to his fraternity brother, who is in a window a distance h above. The
brother's outstretched hand catches the keys on their way up a time t later. (Answers should be in terms of h, g, and t. Let
up be positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
(a) With what initial velocity were the keys thrown?
(b) What was the velocity of the keys just before they were caught?
You throw an object directly up into the air and then catch it when it comes back down. It hits your hand at a speed of 7 m/s on the way down. What was the initial velocity of the ball? Use a kinematic approach.
