Calculate the initial speed or height in this instance.

An egg is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the way down and passes a point a distance 50.0 m below its starting point at a time 5.00 s after it leaves the thrower's hand. Air resistance may be ignored.

1) How high does it rise above its starting point?

2) What is the initial speed of the egg?
