I can tell that you've never read much Shakespeare.

If the bundle is pitched with a velocity of 5.0 m/s, it must follow

as the night follows the day that it cannot then continue to rise

for more than barely 1/2 second before it reacheth the zenith

of its arc, reverseth its course, and plungeth Earthward to its

ultimate demise.

But hey! To thine own self be true, eh?
