 * Problem #1**

Ken and Barbie are having a picnic on the roof of the Elite Residence, but Ken forgot to bring the sandwiches! So he asks his mom, who has an apartment on the 46th floor, to throw up the picnic basket from her balcony (624 feet above the ground). If she throws it at a velocity of 200 ft/sec, how long will it take to reach Ken? *NOTE: you will get 2 answers. The greater one is the answer.


 * Problem #2**

For a science experiment, Barbie must stand on the roof of the Elite Residence and throw a grape down to Ken, at street level, to see if he will catch it in his mouth. Ken is six feet tall. How long will it take the grape to land in Ken's mouth?
