Answer:
5) The approximate height is about 80 m. Choice (c)
6) The stone takes about 3 seconds to rise to its maximum height
Step-by-step explanation:
Free Fall Motion
A free-falling object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall.
If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the gravitational acceleration, which value is
.
The distance traveled by a dropped object is:

Question 5
Given the stone reaches the ground in t=4 seconds, the height of the tower is:

The approximate height is about 80 m. Choice (c)
Question 6
Vertical Motion
The vertical motion of an object is controlled by the force of gravity. This means that there is a non-zero net force acting on the object that makes it accelerate downwards.
If the object is thrown upwards at speed vo, its speed at time t is:

The stone reaches its maximum height when the final speed is zero, thus:

Solving for t:

The stone is thrown vertically upwards with vo=30 m/s, thus:



The stone takes about 3 seconds to rise to its maximum height
