Question
You throw a stone straight down from the top of a tall tower. It leaves your hand moving at 8.00 m/s, Air resistance can be neglected. Take the positive -direction to be upward, and choose y 0 to be the point where the stone leaves your hand. Find the stone’s position 1.50s after it leaves your hand.
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:
The velocity after 1.5 s is 22.7 m/s downwards.
Explanation:
Initial velocity = – 8 m/s
acceleration, a = – 9.8 m/s2
time, t = 1.5 s
Use first equation of motion
v = u + at
v = – 8 – 9.8 x 1.5
v = – 8 – 14.7
v = – 22.7 m/s
Thus, the velocity after 1.5 s is 22.7 m/s downwards.
