A ball thrown vertically from ground level is caught 3.0 s later by a person on a balcony who is 14 m above the ground, determine the initial speed of the ball.
When I first tried doing this problem, I tried using the speed equation of distance/change in time, so I divided 14 by 3 which gave me 4.7 m/s, but according to my study guide the answer is 19 m/s and I'm having a hard time understanding why that's the answer and what equation I would use to solve it. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
