A stone is thrown vertically downward with an initial speed of 12.0 m/s from the top of a
building. The stone takes 1.54 s to reach the ground.

Respuesta :

The question is incomplete; However, the height from which the stone is thrown is most likely to be what's required of the question

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Initial\ Speed, u = 12.0m/s[/tex]

[tex]Time, t = 1.54\ s[/tex]

Required

Determine the height

This question will be answered using the following equation of motion;

[tex]S = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

Take g as 9.8

This gives:

[tex]S = 12 * 1.54 + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * 1.54^2[/tex]

[tex]S = 12 * 1.54 + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * 2.3716[/tex]

[tex]S = 18.48 + 11.62084[/tex]

[tex]S = 30.10084[/tex]

[tex]S = 30.1\ m[/tex] (Approximated)

Hence; Height = 30.1m
