Well, the problem is asking for the initial velocity, so its very natural that the initial velocity is not given to you!creynaud said:
Not necessarily. The projectile can land at the given spot after passing through its zenith.dean barry said:

Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object that is thrown or launched into the air and moves under the force of gravity. When a ball is thrown upward, it follows a curved path due to the combination of its initial velocity and the downward force of gravity.
The trajectory of a ball thrown upward is affected by its initial velocity, angle of launch, and air resistance. Other factors such as wind and air density can also have an impact on the trajectory.
The initial velocity of a ball thrown upward determines the speed at which it moves and the height it can reach. The higher the initial velocity, the higher the ball will go before falling back to the ground.
No, the motion of a ball thrown upward is not symmetrical. The upward motion is slower and the downward motion is faster due to the force of gravity pulling the ball back down.
Air resistance, also known as drag, can slow down the motion of a ball thrown upward. This can cause the ball to not reach the same height or distance as it would in a vacuum. The effect of air resistance increases with the speed and surface area of the ball.
