Homework Statement
If a .5kg ball is thrown up in the air and reaches a height of 20 meters.
A)What is the ball's Kinetic Energy?
B)What is its initial velocity, as it leaves the thrower's hand?
C)What is its velocity at 16 meters?
Homework Equations
KE=1/2mv^2
The Attempt at a Solution
Okay so for the first one I'm thinking I need to use KE=1/2mv^2, I have the mass but I need the velocity to solve for the kinetic energy. So then I thought maybe the velocity would just be 0 because it says "as it leaves the thrower's hand" as in the split second when its not moving?
