1. A stone is thrown vertically upward and returns to earth in 10 sec. what was its initial velocity and how high did
it go?

2. A ball is dropped from the top of the tower 80ft high at the same instant that a second ball is thrown upward
from the ground with an initial velocity of 40 ft/sec. When and where they do pass, and what relative velocity?
3. A stone is thrown vertically upward from the ground with a velocity of 48.3 ft/sec. One second later another stone is
thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 96.6 ft/sec. how far above the ground will the stones be at the same level?
