In summary, a new forum member is struggling with a problem involving an object thrown upwards with a speed of 50m/s and a gravitational acceleration of 10m/s^2. They are looking for help with determining the object's distance from the ground after 1.0 second. The correct answer is 45m.

Hello everyone,
i am new to this forum so please excuse me if i haven't found the search function. o.k., i am struggling with the following problems. i really don't have cash to get a tutor so i am hoping some of y'all can help a brother out. i am not sure what formulas to use and why. They are pretty similar & are as follows:

1.AN OBJECT IS THROWN STRAIGHT UP FROM THE GROUND LEVEL WITH A SPEED OF 50M/S. IF g = 10M/S^2 ITS DISTANCE ABOVE GROUND LEVEL 1.0 SECOND LATER IS?



2. y = 1/2(-10)*1^2 + 50*1



3. i got 45m
