Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs
Explanation:
a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.
Maximum height = U²/2g
U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s
g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²
Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)
H = 19.21m
b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g
T= 2(19.6)/10
T = 39.2/10
Time elapsed is 3.92secs
They seem to cancel each other out which is odd
Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).
