A circus clown is catapulted straight up in the air; the catapult is 1.600 m off the ground level. If his speed as he leaves the catapult is 6.000 m/s
1) what is the maximum height, as measured from the ground? Assum there is no air resistance.
2) find how much time elapsed before he lands on the ground. Assume there's no air resistance.
Both answered will be 3 sig figs.
