| A tennis ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 22.5 m/s. It is caught at the same distance above the ground from which is was thrown. How high does the ball rise? How long does the ball remain in the air? | 25.80 m; 4.59 s |
| A pitcher throws a baseball straight up with an initial speed of 27 m/s. How long does it take the ball to reach its highest point? How high does the ball rise above its release point? | 2.75 s; 37.16 m |
| A kangaroo is capable of jumping to a height of 2.62 m. Determine the take-off speed of the kangaroo. | 7.17 m/s |
| If Michael Jordan has a vertical leap of 1.29 m, then what is his take-off speed and his hang time? | 5.03 m/s; 1.03 s |
| With what speed must an object be thrown to reach a height of 91.5 m? | 42.37 m/s |
