Question 1

An object is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 35 m/s. Calculate how high it will go before it starts falling back down.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember that at the peak, the final velocity v will be 0.

Question 2

A feather and a stone are dropped in a vacuum. Explain what happens and compare it to a feather and stone dropped in the air.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the role of air resistance on different objects.
