1 A beach ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 10m/s from a point 2 m above the ground
a) Assuming no air reistance, calculate how far up the ball will go
b)At what speed will the ball eventually hit the ground?
c) If the air resistance exerts a constant force fo 10N during the journey, calculate the new maximum height and maximum speed of the ball.
