Problem

A ball is thrown vertically downward from the roof of a building 60 m60\,\text{m} high with an initial speed of 5 m/s5\,\text{m/s}. The ball is caught by a friend in a window that is 15 m15\,\text{m} above the ground. Take downward direction as positive and neglect air resistance. a. Part 1: (i) Calculate the time taken by the ball to reach the window level. b. Part 2: (ii) Determine the speed of the ball when it reaches the window. c. Part 3: (iii) Compute the distance travelled by the ball during the last one second of its motion before reaching the window.
