You throw a ball of mass 1.2 kg straight up. You observe that it takes 3.1 s to go up and down, returning to your hand. Assuming we can neglect air resistance, the time it takes to go up to the top is half the total time, 1.55 s. Note that at the top the momentum is momentarily zero, as it changes from heading upward to heading downward. Required:
Use the Energy Principle to determine the maximum height above your hand reached by the ball.
