Answer to Question #349042 in Mechanics | Relativity for Tedros

Question

a stone thrown from the top of the building is given initial velocity off 20m/s streight upwards, the stone is launched 50m above the ground and the stone just misses the edge of the roof on its way down using ta = 0

Answer 1

$t_1=\frac vg=2~s,$

$s=\frac{v^2}{2g}=20~m,$

$t_2=\sqrt\frac{2(s+h)}g=3.7~s,$

$t=t_1+t_2=5.7~s.$
