When the effect of aerodynamic drag is included, the y-acceleration of a baseball moving vertically upward is au = -g – kv2, while the acceleration when the ball is moving downward is ad = -g + kv2, where k is a positive constant and v is the speed in feet per second. If the ball is thrown upward at 100 ft/sec from essentially ground level, compute its maximum height h and its speed vf upon impact with the ground. Take k to be 0.002 ft-1 and assume that g is constant.
