A stone is thrown vertically upwards. It takes 2 seconds to reach it highest point the acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s. With what velocity must it be thrown ?

The velocity the stone must be thrown with is 20 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

time taken for the stone to reach it highest point, t = 2 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

The maximum height reached by the stone at the given time is calculated as;

Determine the initial of the stone;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

v is the final velocity of the stone at maximum height = 0

u is the initial velocity of the stone = ?

0 = u² - 2(10 x 20)

0 = u² - 400

u² = 400

u = √400

u = 20 m/s

Therefore, the velocity the stone must be thrown with is 20 m/s.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
