A tennis ball is thrown into the air for an average time of 5.5s.

a) Calculate the maximum height

b) What is the Gravitational Potential Energy of the ball at the peak?

c) Using the peak height, calculate the initial velocity of the ball

d) What is the total mechanical energy?

e) What is the velocity of the ball when it is at a height of 1.5m on its way up? (conservation of energy)

f) If There is a force of air resistance equal to 0.22 N, how much energy is lost to Thermal Energy over the entire trip of the ball? (assume the ball is thrown straight up and down)

g) What is the total final mechanical Energy now that we are taking air resistance into account?
