Problem 1003
A stone is thrown vertically upward and return to earth in 10 sec. What was its initial velocity and how high did it go?

Solution

Return in 10 seconds = 5 seconds upward + 5 seconds downward

SI Units

Going upward (velocity at the highest point is zero):

v f = v i − gt

0 = v i − 9.81(5)

v i = 49.05  m/sec answer

Going downward (initial velocity is zero; free-fall):

1 2
h = gt
2

1 2
h = (9.81)(5 )
2

h = 122.625  m answer

English System

Going upward (velocity at the highest point is zero):

v f = v i − gt

0 = v i − 32.2(5)

v i = 161  ft/sec answer

Going downward (initial velocity is zero; free-fall):

1 2
h = gt
2
