A stone thrown upward from the top of a 80 ft cliff at 152 ft/s eventually falls to the beach below. (For this problem take the acceleration due to gravity to be ?=−32 ft/s2g=−32 ft/s2; take upwards to be a positive direction.) How long does the stone take to reach its highest point? What is its maximum height? How long before the stone hits the ground? What is the velocity of the stone on impact?

A thoughtful person on a bridge reflecting on his awesome Physics class sees a small stone by his feet. Hmm, he thought to himself. Using his foot he slowly nudged the stone off the surface of the bridge and using his cell phone he timed how long it took to hit the water, about 1.75 s. How high (m) is the bridge above the water? (neglect air resistance)
If a dropped object falls 19.6 m in 2.0 s, how far will it fall in 4.0s? A boy throws a stone straight upward with an initial velocity of 5 m/s from the surface of the Earth. What is the maximum height above the starting point will the stone reach before it starts falling back?
A tennis ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of +9.3 m/s. a) What will the ball's velocity be when it returns to its starting point? Answer in units of m/s. b) How long will the ball take to reach its starting point? Answer in units of´s.
