You are on a cliff, and you decide to throw your empty water bottle to the bottom so you have less to carry down. You decide to toss the bottle straight up into the air at [v1]m/s and let it fall from there to the ground. You are [x1]m above the ground. What is the maximum height of the bottle above the ground in meters? Enter only the number into the box.

The Millennium Falcon is parked near the planet Endor. The Falcon accelerates from rest at a constant rate, heading due east, until reaching a velocity of [v1]m/s after [t1] s. The Falcon flies at this speed for [t2]s continuing due east and then notices a tie fighter in its rearview mirror. The Falcon decelerates at a constant rate and comes to a stop after traveling another [x1] m due east. It then prepares to turn around and chase the tie fighter down and save the universe. What is the net displacement of the Falcon during the initial acceleration considering the parking spot as the origin in meters? Enter only the number into the box.
