It means that you note down the observation at time t = t1 of some experiment which you are performing.
Answer:
a)
.
b)
.
Explanation:
a) What is the speed of the rock just before it hits the street?
From Kinematics we have
.
If we take the top of the roof as the position
, then
and we have (also,
) :
⇒ 
⇒
.
b) How much time elapses from when the rock is thrown until it hits the street?
From Kinematics we have 
When the rock touches the ground:

With a minus sign to indicate the vector velocity points down.

(remember that
)
In order to determine the acceleration of the block, use the following formula:

Moreover, remind that for an object attached to a spring the magnitude of the force acting over a mass is given by:

Then, you have:

by solving for a, you obtain:

In this case, you have:
k: spring constant = 100N/m
m: mass of the block = 200g = 0.2kg
x: distance related to the equilibrium position = 14cm - 12cm = 2cm = 0.02m
Replace the previous values of the parameters into the expression for a:

Hence, the acceleration of the block is 10 m/s^2
