Answer:

1.80

Step-by-step explanation:

38.4=-12.5(a)-1/2(-9.80)(a)^2

a= acceleration
^2 is the exponent

The acceleration of both the rocks is only due to the gravitational force acting on them. Even though the speed of thrown rock would be greater than that of dropped rock, the acceleration of both the rocks would be g downwards.
