Question

A stone is thrown in a vertically

upward direction with a velocity
of 5 ms. If the acceleration of the
stone during its motion is 10 ms?
in the downward direction, what
will be the height attained by the
stone and how much time will it
take to reach there?

Answer 1

1.25 m

0.5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (5 m/s)² + 2 (-10 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 1.25 m

Find: t

v = at + v₀

(0 m/s) = (-10 m/s²) t + (5 m/s)

t = 0.5 s
