A bunch of keys was thrown directly upward by Macoy, who is looking out of the window, to be caught by Len-Len living on a room right above him. Unfortunately, Len-Len wasn't able to catch the keys and therefore the bunch of keys went straight to the ground. If Macoy gave the keys an upward speed of 3 m/s and the keys reached the ground after Macoy threw the keys upward in 4 seconds, c. What is the keys' acceleration when it reached its highest point?d. What is the keys' velocity when it reached its highest point?

- An observer sitting on a park bench watches a person walking behind a runner. Figure P4.72A is the motion diagram representing what this observer sees. To better reveal the changing distance between runner and walker, five observations (A through E) are shown on five separate lines in Figure P4.72B. To the observer on the bench, both the runner and the walker move to the right, and the gap between them widens. Draw the motion diagram of the runner from the reference frame of the walker.
