Question

What is time taken by the stone ?

Answer 1

The time taken by the stone to hit the ground would be 5.12 seconds.

What are the three equations of motion?

There are three equations of motion given by  Newton

The first equation is given as follows

v = u + at

the second equation is given as follows

S = ut + 1/2×a×t²

the third equation is given as follows

v² - u² = 2×a×s

Keep in mind that these calculations only apply to uniform acceleration.

As given in the problem, a stone is dropped from the helicopter which is ascending at the speed of 19.6 m/s

height(S) = 156.8 meters

initial velocity(u) = -19.6 m/s

acceleration(a) = 9.81 m/s²

By using the second equation of motion given by newton

S = ut + 1/2at²

S = 156.8m ,u= -19.6 m/s , a= 9.81 m/s² and t =? seconds

156.8= -19.6t + 9.81t²

t = 5.12 seconds

Thus, the time taken by the stone to hit the ground would be 5.12 seconds.
