Answer:

If we assume that the rock was dropped from rest, we can use the following equation of motion to determine the height you climbed:

h = (1/2) * g * t^2

where h is the height you climbed, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2), and t is the time it took for the rock to fall (1.3 seconds in this case).

Plugging in these values, we get:

h = (1/2) * 9.8 m/s^2 * (1.3 s)^2 = 10.16 meters

Therefore, you climbed approximately 10.16 meters (or about 33.3 feet).
