Example Problem
Determine:
• velocity and elevation above ground at time t,
• highest elevation reached by ball and corresponding time, and
• time when ball will hit the ground and corresponding velocity.
Ball tossed with 10 m/s vertical velocity from window 20 m above ground.
SOLUTION:
• Integrate twice to find v(t) and y(t).
• Solve for t at which velocity equals
zero (time for maximum elevation) and evaluate corresponding altitude.
• Solve for t at which altitude equals zero (time for ground impact) and evaluate corresponding velocity.

• Motion in horizontal direction is uniform.
• Motion in vertical direction is uniformly accelerated.
• Motion of projectile could be replaced by two
