  • This can not be so hard a problem.

    1、The rock first moves upward until it reachs the highest point ,then fall down.

    It's initial antrorse speed of the rock is 30m/s while it's acceleration is just the acceleration of the gravity.

    According to the equation V2^2 - V1^2 = 2as

    while the V2 = 0 ,V1=30m/s and a = -g = -10m/s^2

    So ,the hight of the rock moving up is s = 30*30/(2*10) = 45m

    2、As we know ,the whole progress can be divided into 2 parts.

    At first ,the rock run up until its speed is 0 .

    The time is t1 ,so t1 = V2-V1/(-g) = 3s .

    Then the rock act free-fall motion while the hight is 325 + 45 = 370m.According to the equation s = 0.5gt^2 ,we assume that the time is t2 ,so t2 = √(2*370/10) = 8.6s .

    Finally the whole time is T = t1 + t2 = 11.6s

    3、If it were launched staright down ,the rock has an downward initial speed of 30m/s while the acceleration of gravity acts.

    According to the equation s = V1*t + 0.5gt^2

    while s = 325m ,V1 = 30m/s and g = 10m/s^2

    So the key to the equation is the solve of the proble.

    t = √(74)- 3 = 5.6s

    4、To be honest ,I can not sure the meaning of the word “dropped”.

    Because there is no angle we known ,so I can only assume that the initial speed is horizontal.

    So the time of the rock running in the air depend on the time of motion of the vertical free-fall motion.

    The time is t and the equation is s = 0.5gt^2

    while s = 325m ,g = 10m/s^2

    so t = √65 = 8.06s
