a rock is thrown straight upwards at 29.4m/s. How long does it take to reach its highest point and start falling back to the ground?
Let us consider the upwards direction as positive and the downwards direction as negative.
Gravitational acceleration = g = -9.8 m/s2
Initial velocity of the rock = V1 = 29.4 m/s
Velocity of the rock at the highest point = V2 = 0 m/s
Time taken to reach the highest point = T
V2 = V1 + gT
0 = 29.4 + (-9.8)T
T = 3 sec
Time taken by the rock to reach the highest point and start falling back to the ground = 3 sec

A rock is thrown straight upwards from 1 m off the ground with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. How long would it take to return to the point it was thrown?
An object is thrown upwards with a speed of 10 m/s. How long does it take to reach a height of 2.0 m above the projection point while descending?
A potato is thrown straight upwards with a speed of 10 m/s. How long does it take to reach a height 2.2m above where it started while descending (on the way down)? Neglect air resistance, and assume the acceleration due to gravity is g=-9.8 m/s^2.
A rock takes 3.2 s to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with an initial velocity of 8.4 m/s. Calculate the height of the cliff (in meters). Using that information, how long would it take to reach the ground if the rock is thrown straight down with the same speed?
A rock takes 2.40 s to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with an initial velocity of 8.17 m/s. How long (in s) would it take to reach the ground if it is thrown straight down with the same speed?
How long does it take for an object thrown straight upward on the surface of the moon with an initial velocity of 20 m/s, to reach the peak of its path? (acceleration of gravity on the moon is 2 m/s2) a. 5 s b. 10 s c. 20 s d. 40 s e. None of these
3. A ball is thrown straight up, reaches a maximum height, then falls to its initial height. Make a statement about the direction of the velocity and the acceleration as the ball is coming down. (1 mark) a) Both its velocity and its acceleration point upward b) Its velocity points downwards and its acceleration points upwards c) Its velocity points upwards and its acceleration points downwards d) Both its velocity and its acceleration point downwards. 4. A man stands on...
A rock thrown vertically upward from the surface of the moon at a velocity of24 m/sec reaches a height of s=24t-0.8t^2 meters in t seconds.a) Find the rock’s acceleration and velocity at time t.b) How long does it take the rock to reach its highest point?c) How high does the rock go?d) How long does it take the rock to reach half its maximum height?e) How long is the rock aloft?
(1 point) A stone thrown upward from the top of a 72 ft cliff at 119 ft/s eventually falls to the beach below. (For this problem take the acceleration due to gravity to be g-32 ft/s2; take upwards to be a positive direction.) (a) How long does the stone take to reach its highest point? time (include units) (b) What is its maximum height? height- include units) (c) How long before the stone hits the beach? time (include units) (d)...
