Assuming that the stone is thrown vertically... let's say it's a 1 kg stone.It doesn't matter if it's thrown upwards or downwards as (assuming no air friction) it will pass the original throwing point with the same downwards velocity as it had upwards, 3 seconds previously. So it starts with 1/2 m v^2 = 0.5 * 1 * 15^2 = 112.5 J of keThen k.e. gained = gpe lostk.e. gained = m g h = 1 * 10 * 50 = 500 J of Ke gainedso the final (total) ke is 612.5 J which = 1/2 m v^2 = 0.5 v^2 here
so 0.5 v^2 = 612.5so     v^2    = 1225so v = 35 m/s

Power P is the rate at which energy is generated or consumed and hence is measured in units that represent energy E per unit time t. This is:

P = E/t

Solving for t:

t = E/P

t = 6007 J / 500 W

t = 12.014 s

<h2>t ≅ 12 s</h2>

The Southwest Indian Ridge, shown in red, moves at an average rate of 20 mm/year, making it among the ultraslow spreading ridges
blagie [28]

v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years
