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 5.00s after it leaves the thrower's hand. Air resistance may be ignored. i got the initial speed of the egg is 15.5 B)How high does it rise above its starting point? C)What is the magnitude of its velocity at the highest point? D)What is the magnitude of its acceleration at the highest point? E)What is the direction of its acceleration at the highest point? up or down

Explanation / Answer

The acceleration will always be directed downward, that is because it is the acceleration due to gravity, which is equal to 9.8 m/s^2. The acceleration will stay the same at any point of a free-fall motion. Only the velocities will change.
