Salutations, It is I , the plasmacannoneer... I'm kinda new here but , does anyone know how to approach this physics problem? "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 35.0 m below its starting point at a time 5.00 s after it leaves the thrower's hand. Air resistance may be ignored." solve for intial velocity and the distance to the maximum height.

"An egg is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building.

To solve for initial velocity you have to use the formulas of motion and solve using the rules of algebra....
So... in my case I was told that at x=-35m t=5.00s since I knew both the position and time I could use the position formula which reads$$ x_{final}=x_{initial}+v_{initial}t+\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }a \Delta t^2$$ 
Using this I could plug in the given values to create an equation that solved algebraically to equal 17.5m/s as the initial velocity.
