The initial velocity of the stone is 0 ft/s. Given the initial velocity (Vi), final velocity (Vf), and acceleration due to gravity (g), the distance may be calculated through the equation,
d = ((Vf)² - (Vi)²) / 2g
Substituting the known values,
d = ((96 ft/s)² - 0))/ (2x32.2)
The value of d is 143.10 ft.
It's 3.6 meters per second less than my speed was

Does that tell you anything ?
Why not ?
Explanation:
Period of a mass on a spring is:
T = 2π√(m/k)
T is inversely proportional with the square root of k. So as the spring constant increases, the period decreases.
