Prob. 2.9 (pg. 50)
A student throws a set of keys vertically upward to her
sorority sister, who is in a window 4.00 m above. The
second student catches the keys 1.50 s later. (a) With
what initial velocity were the keys thrown? (b) What
was the velocity of the keys just before they were
caught?
Prob. 2.8 (pg. 50)
A ball is thrown upward from the ground with an initial
speed of 25 m/s; at the same instant, another ball is
dropped from a building 15 m high. After how long will
the balls be at the same height above the ground?
