Here we have,
Initial velocity (u) = 5 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) = – 10 m/s2
Height, i.e. Distance, s =?
Time (t) taken to reach the height =?
We know that, v2 = u2 + 2as
⇒ 0 = (5)2 + 2 × −10 × s
⇒ 0 = 25 − 20s
⇒ s = 25/20 m
⇒ s = 1.25 m
Now, we know that, v = u + at
⇒ 0 = 5 + (–10) × t
⇒ 0 = 5 − 10t
⇒ t = 5/10 s
⇒ t = 0.5 s
Thus, stone will attain a height of 1.25 m and time taken to attain the height is 0.5 s.
