From the same stone launched upward at 19.62m/s from 29.9m above ground, what will be the duration of the stone's entire flight, from launch to landing on the ground ? 

A stone is launched vertically with an initial speed of 19.62 m/s from a starting height of 20.0 m above the ground. What maximum height (above
the ground) will the stone reach?
49.0 m
19.6 m
39.2 m
39.6 m
Transcribed Image Text:A stone is launched vertically with an initial speed of 19.62 m/s from a starting height of 20.0 m above the ground. What maximum height (above the ground) will the stone reach? 49.0 m 19.6 m 39.2 m 39.6 m
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given

  • The initial speed of the stone is u=19.62 m/s.
  • The height from the ground from which the stone is launched is h=29.9 m.

When the stone launched upward from 29.9 m above the ground then it reaches maximum height and comes to its initial position so till that the displacement is 0 but when it comes to the ground then it covers 29.9 m. Therefore the displacement is d=-29.9 m.

By Newton's equation of motion,

d=ut+12-gt2

Here, t is the time taken by the stone to reach the ground, and g is the acceleration due to gravity whose value is 9.8 m/s2. It is taken as negative because to stone velocity is decreases and hence the stone retards.
