Problem

Two identical stones A and B are thrown vertically upward from the same point on level ground. Stone A is projected with speed uu, whereas stone B is projected with speed 2u2u. a. (i) Show that the maximum height reached by stone B is four times the maximum height reached by stone A. b. (ii) If stone A rises to 12.5 m12.5\,\text{m}, calculate the value of uu. Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}. c. (iii) Obtain the ratio of the time each stone spends ascending before coming momentarily to rest at its respective maximum height.
