Question
A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 29.0 m/s and when it reaches a height of 13 m, the velocity is 24.2 m/s.
Using the formula x = v0 • t + ½ • a • t2, find the time it takes to reach this height? Why do you get two values for time? Explain.

Answer:
the value of t = 0.49 seconds shows that its upward journey
and
at t = 5.43 seconds shows in downward journey
Explanation:
Given:
initial speed, u = 29 m/s
acceleration due to gravity, g = – 9.8 m/s^2
h = 13 m
Let it is moving with velocity v at a height of 13 m.
Use third equation of motion
v² = u² + 2gh
By substituting the values
v² = 29² – (2 * 9.8 * 13)
v = sqrt 585.94
v = 24.2 m/s
Let it takes time t to reach at height 13 m
Use second equation of motion
s = u * t + 1/2 * g * t²
13 = 29t – 4.9t²
4.9t² – 29t + 13 = 0
using quadratic equation to solve time
29 ±
t = ————————————
2 * 4.9
t = 5.43 second or t = 0.49 second
Therefore…
the value of t = 0.49 seconds shows that its upward journey
and
at t = 5.43 seconds shows in downward journey
