\end{figure} A small ball is thrown vertically upwards at time \(t = 0\) from a point \(A\) which is above horizontal ground. The ball hits the ground 7 s later. The ball is modelled as a particle moving freely under gravity.
The velocity-time graph shown in Figure 3 represents the motion of the ball for \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 7\)
  1. Find the speed with which the ball is thrown.
  2. Find the height of \(A\) above the ground.
