01 Material point mass m = 2Kgr lies on the vertical z-axis at the position Zo = 2m and is thrown vertically with an initial velocity uo = 3m/s. The quantities zo and u。 are algebraic. The gravitational field is constant with acceleration g =10m/s². A) Draw the vertical z-axis with any direction you want and write the equation of motion of the material point. B) Solve the equation of motion in its general case and apply the initial conditions to it. C) What changes in questions A and B if you take the opposite direction for the z- axis than you already chose in question A?
