I need help with this problem (finite difference method and ode)

Hello, I solved this question using ode45. But I'm having trouble solving for y(t) using finite difference method. Here is the code I have so far. Can you explain to me how to use finite difference method on this problem? Thanks.

clear all
close all
c=0.0001;
g=9.81;
%dy/dt=v
%dv/dt=-cv^3-g
%ODE system dy_dt=F(t,y)
F = @(t,y) [y(2);-c*(y(2))^3-g];
%dy-dt=f(t,y)
f = @(t,y) -y;
%initial conditions
y0 = [40;0];
%Numerical solution using ode45
[t,yNumerical]=ode45(F,[0 5],y0);
%Analytical Solution
figure
plot(t,yNumerical(:,1),'--o','LineWidth',2)
hold on
plot(t,yNumerical(:,2),'--o','LineWidth',2)
legend('Position','Velocity')

How do you know that dy/dt at t=0 has to be 0 in order to reach a height of 5 m after 5 seconds ?
Hint: "ODE45" is not the correct solver for this problem, but "bvp4c".
For a finite-difference solution see
Best wishes
Torsten.
