    The pot spends T = 0.185s going up and 0.185s going down past the window.

    The average speed passing by the window is 2.20 m/0.185s = 11.89 m/s.

    During passage, the pot increases speed by T*g = 0.185*9.81 = 1.815 m/s

    The speed is therefore 12.80 m/s at the bottom of the window and 10.98 m/s at the top of the window.

    The 10.98 m/s speed at the top of the window allows it to rise another 10.98^2 / (2g) = 6.15 m past the top of the window
