Answer #1

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
