# Priscilla the Penguin stands at the edge of a rock ledge and tosses a small ice cube directly upward with an initial velocity of \( v_0 \). The ice cube’s initial height above the ground is \( 3.25 \, \text{m} \), and it reaches its maximum height above the ground \( 0.586 \, \text{s} \) after being thrown. The ice cube then plummets to the ground, missing the edge of the rock ledge on its way down.

Priscilla the Penguin stands at the edge of a rock ledge and tosses a small ice cube directly upward with an initial velocity of \( v_0 \). The ice cube’s initial height above the ground is \( 3.25 \, \text{m} \), and it reaches its maximum height above the ground \( 0.586 \, \text{s} \) after being thrown. The ice cube then plummets to the ground, missing the edge of the rock ledge on its way down.

**Part a)** Calculate the initial speed *vo* of the ice cube. *(2 points)*

**Part b)** Calculate the maximum height above the ground that the ice cube reaches. *(2 points)*

**Part c)** Calculate the amount of time it takes the ice cube to reach the ground after Pricilla throws it. *(2 points)*

**Part d)** Calculate the speed of the ice cube when it reaches the ground. *(2 points)*

**Part e)** Calculate the height of the ice cube above the ground when it is traveling at 7.00 m/s in the downward direction. *(4 points)*
