Answer:
The height reached is 20m, The time taken to reach 20m is 2 seconds
Explanation:
Observing the equations of motion we can see that the following equation will be most helpful for this question.
We are given initial velocity, u
We know that the stone will stop at its maximum height, so final velocity, v
Acceleration, a
And we are looking for the displacement (height reached), s
Substitute the values we are given into the equation
Rearrange for s
s = -20 (The negative is just showing direction, it can be ignored for now)
The height reached is 20m
Use a different equation to find the time taken
Substitute in the values we have
Rearrange for t
t = 2s
The time taken to reach 20m is 2 seconds
