3) You throw a ball straight up. The ball leaves your hand at a height of 2.00 m above the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s (~45 mph). Ignore air resistance and use g = 10.0 m/s2. You can use a spreadsheet but show a sample calculation for the velocity and the position at t = 1.5 s.

3a.) Calculate and make a table of the height, y(t), and y-velocity, vy(t), at 0.50-second intervals until the ball hits the ground. Your table should have the units in the column headers: t (s), vy (m/s), y (m) Remember to add the ysubscripts when the motion is along the y-axis.
3b.) Use this data to draw a motion diagram for the ball at 0.50-second intervals. Label the time, y-coordinate,and the velocity at each time interval. Label the origin, starting height, maximum height, and final height.
Include the instantaneous velocity vectors at each time and location of the ball.
3c.) Calculate the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground and the final velocity of the ball just as it hits the ground. Include this velocity vector in your diagram. Report your answers to 3 significant figures.
