Question

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 45.0m below its starting point at a time 5.00secs after it leaves the thrower's hand. Air resistance may be ignored. what is the magnitude of its velocity at the highest point? what is the magnitude of its acceleration at the highest point? Additional info: Initial speed of egg: 15.5m/s How high does it rise above its starting point: 12.3m

Explanation / Answer

magnitude of its velocity at the highest point =0 ; the magnitude of its acceleration at the highest point = g ;where g = accln due to gravity.
