In 1978, Geoff Capes of the United Kingdom won a competition for throwing 4.83 lb bricks; he threw a brick a distance of 44.99 m. Suppose the brick left Capes’ hand at an angle of 48.19o with respect to the horizontal and the bricks land at the same height he threw them from.
Find the initial speed of the brick.
If Capes threw the brick straight up with the speed found in (a), what is the maximum height the brick could achieve? (Ignore air resistance.)
