Asked by Kenzie

Maddie is standing still when her dancing partner, Paul, begins to lift her up and throw her into the air. Maddie’s mass is 40 kg. Paul exerts an average vertical force of 500 N for 1.0 s on Maddie during the lift and throwing motion. What is Maddie’s vertical velocity when Paul releases her?

So far I have a=F/m
a=500N/40kg
a=12.5m/s^2
However since you're working against gravity I have 12.5-9.81= 2.69m/s2
