Question: On Earth where a = -9.8 m/s2 Suppose an object is thrown from a height of h = 100 m with velocity v = 5.0

On Earth where a = -9.8 m/s2
Suppose an object is thrown from a height of h = 100 m with velocity v = 5.0 m/s (upward) to find its trajectory in a local gravitational field of strength a. For the following values of a,
a. Find the velocity and position of the object as functions of time.
b. How high will the object get?
c. How long will it take to pass the initial height of 100 m on the way down? How fast will it be moving?
d. How long will it take to hit the ground? How fast will it be moving? How fast is this in miles per hour?
e. Graph the velocity and position as functions of time.
