A rock of mass 0.062 kg is thrown upward with an initial speed of 29.2 m/s. Find the work done by gravity on the rock from the time it leaves the thrower's hand until it reaches the highest point in its trajectory. Hint: You do not have to calculate the rock's maximum height.

A 5.00 N rock is thrown vertically into the air from the ground. At h = 12.0 m, v = 20 m/s upward. Use the work-energy theorem to find the initial speed (not kinematics!). Hint: The work done on the rock is done by gravity and is negative, slowing it down.

You throw a $20 \mathrm{~N}$ rock into the air from ground level and observe that, when it is $15.0 \mathrm{~m}$ high, it is traveling upward at $25.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. Use the work-energy theorem to find (a) the rock's speed just as it left the ground and (b) the maximum height the rock will reach.
