A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 20 m/s20\,\text{m/s}. Take g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2 downward. (a) Calculate the time taken to reach the highest point. (b) Determine the maximum height reached. (c) Find its speed when it has fallen back to a point halfway between the maximum height and the point of projection.
