Example 2.9 Not a Bad Throw for a Rookie!
Goal Apply the kinematic equations to a freely falling object with a
nonzero initial velocity.
Problem A stone is thrown from the top of a building with an initial
velocity of 24.9 m/s straight upward, at an initial height of 56.7 m
above the ground. The stone just misses the edge of the roof on its
way down, as shown in Figure 2.20.
(a) Determine the time needed for the stone to reach its maximum
height.
(b) Determine the maximum height.
(c) Determine the time needed for the stone to return to the height
from which it was thrown, and the velocity of the stone at that
instant.
(d) Determine the time needed for the stone to reach the ground.
(e) Determine the velocity and position of the stone at t 5.55 s.
Strategy The diagram in Figure 2.20 establishes a coordinate
system with Yo 0 at the level of release from the thrower's hand,
with y positive upward. Write the velocity and position kinematic
equations for the stone and substitute the given information. All the
answers come from these two equations by using simple algebra or
just substituting the time. For part (a), for example, the stone
comes to rest for an instant at maximum height, so set v = 0 at this
point and solve for time. Then substitute the time into the
displacement equation, obtaining the maximum height.

thrown upward from a building.

(a) Find the time when the stone reaches its maximum
height.
Write the velocity and position kinematic equations.
v = at + vo
Ay y Yo = Vot + at
Substitute a = -9.80 m/s, Vo = 24.9 m/s, and yo = 0 into
the preceding two equations.
v = (-9.80 m/s²)t + 24.9 m/s (1)
y (24.9 m/s)t - (4.90 m/s2)t2 (2)
Substitute v = 0, the velocity at maximum height, into
Equation (1) and solve for time.
0 - (-9.80 m/s2)e + 20.0 m/s
-24.9m
t 3=
-9.80m/s
2.548
(b) Determine the stone's maximum height.
Substitute the time found in part (a) into Equation (2).
Ymax = (24.9 m/s)(t s) - (4.90 m/s?)(t s)? =
31.6
(c) Find the time the stone takes to return to its initial
position, and find the velocity of the stone at that time.
Set y = 0 in Equation (2) and solve for t.
0 (24.9 m/s)t-(4.90 m/s)t
= t(24.9 m/s - 4.90 m/st)
t = 5.08
Substitute the time into Equation (1) to get the velocity.
v = 24.9 m/s + (-9.80 m/s)(e)
-24.9
V m/s

(d) Find the time required for the stone to reach the
ground.
In Equation (2), set y = -56.7 m.
-56.7 m = (-24.9 m/s)t- (4.90 m/s)e
Apply the quadratic formula and take the positive root.
t=6.7866
