A student throws a set of keys vertically upward to her sorority sister, who is in a window 3.50 m above. The second student catches the keys 1.10 s later. (a) With what initial velocity were the keys thrown? magnitude m/s direction (b) What was the velocity of the keys just before they were caught? magnitude m/s direction

a) 8.58 m/s upward

b) -2.211 m/s downward

Explanation:

Let gravitational acceleration g = -9.81m/s2. This is negative because it deceleration the upward motion of the key.

(a)We have the following equation of motion

where is the initial upward velocity of the keys, t = 1.1s is the time it takes for the keys to travel a distance of s = 3.5 m

So the keys were thrown initially upward with a speed of 8.58 m/s

(b) If the initial velocity of the key is 8.58 m/s and it is subjected to a deceleration of 9.81m/s2 for 1.1s then the velocity right at the 1.1s instant is

So they keys would have a downward speed of 2.211 m/s

i think it is non rem sleep
