AI Thread Summary
An object thrown upward at a velocity of 50 m/s can be analyzed using kinematic equations to determine its maximum height and total time in the air. The key equations involve calculating the time to reach the peak height and the height itself, factoring in gravitational acceleration. The discussion highlights a lack of familiarity with these equations among participants, suggesting a need for foundational understanding in physics concepts. Participants express a desire for guidance on how to approach similar problems. Understanding the basic kinematic equations is essential for solving projectile motion questions effectively.

An item is thrown upwards with a vertical velocity of 50 m/s, what is it's greatest height and how long is it in the air for.

I have no clue how to do that.

Do you know any kinematic equations?
 
No. My teacher is a chem teacher teaching physics.
 
No.

Which do I use and how?
 
Could someone please help me with this?
 
How have you approached similar questions in the past? I can't imagine that your teacher would have given you a question without giving you the tools to solve it.
