Throw a ball so that it is projected vertically upward. Catch itat the same height it was released. Have a partner measure the timethe ball is in the air - that is, from the time of release to thetime the ball lands in your hand.

Determine the velocity of the ball at the moment of release and thedistance the ball traveled before it started its descent. Graph theflight of the ball into five sections: (1) from initiation ofupward motion of the hand to just prior to release, (2) from momentof release to just before maximum height, (3) at maximum height,(4) from maximum height to just before you catch the ball, (5) fromthe ball contact to the ball being brought to rest. For eachsection, describe the displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
