Question
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 ?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given
- The initial speed of the stone is .
- The height from the ground from which the stone is launched is .
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 .
By Newton's equation of motion,
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.
