The defenders of a castle throw rocks down on their attackers from a 14 m high wall. If the rocks are thrown straight down with an initial speed of 6 m/s, hoe much faster are they moving when they hit the ground than if they were simply dropped? (m/s)
b.) if they throw the rocks straight up instead of straight down, how much faster are they moving than if they were just dropped? (m/s)

The answer may not be exact because of the approximated value used like 4.569 approximated to 4.57 . Again the value of g used is 9.8 but you can use it 10 also. Still if you encounter with any issues let me know in the comment below.

A block of mass M is hanging from a rope of length L. You throw
a ball of clay of mass m towards the block. The clay hits the block
along the horizontal axis with a speed v, and proceeds to stick to
the block. The block and clay swing up to a maximum height h. Find
h.

A 4.5 kg box slides down a 4.2-m -high frictionless hill,
starting from rest, across a 2.3-m -wide horizontal surface, then
hits a horizontal spring with spring constant 480 N/m . The other
end of the spring is anchored against a wall. The ground under the
spring is frictionless, but the 2.3-m-long horizontal surface is
rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on this
surface is 0.26.
What is the speed of the box just before hitting the...

While exploring a castle, Exena the Exterminator is spotted by a
dragon who chases her down a hallway. Exena runs into a room and
attempts to swing the heavy door shut before the dragon gets her.
The door is initially perpendicular to the wall, so it must be
turned through 90∘ to close. The door has a height of 3.00 m and a
width of 1.15 m , and its weight is 720 N . You can ignore the
friction...

You stand 17.5 m from a wall holding a tennis ball. You throw
the tennis ball at the wall at an angle of 38.5 ∘ from the ground
with an initial speed of 21.5 m / s. At what height above its
initial position does the tennis ball hit the wall? Ignore any
effects of air resistance.
