Answer #1

If you have some data set of heights over time, you can determine the maximum height just by looking at the graph, and the speed you can obtain it at any point by calculating the derivative of the plot and evaluating in any time. A tool like Excel can give you the trendline of the plot you have, so you can derivate directly that function and evaluate at any given point to know the speed, and if you derive twice the plot you can get the gravity directly.
