Problem

From a balcony, a ball is thrown vertically upward. Three seconds later, its velocity is observed to be

14\,\text{m/s}

downward. Taking upward as positive and

g = 10\,\text{m/s}^2

, determine the ball’s initial velocity at the instant it was thrown. a)

44\,\text{m/s}

upward b)

16\,\text{m/s}

downward c)

16\,\text{m/s}

upward d)

44\,\text{m/s}

downward
