Help with this. A child throws a rock straight up with speed 10.9 m/s and then catches it when it falls back to its launch point. Determine the following quantities from the kinematics equations for constant acceleration. Use g = 9.8 m/s2. What is the position of the rock after 1.001 s?

OpenStudy (matt101):

We're given initial velocity, time, and acceleration, and we want to find position. Note that at 1.001 s, the rock still hasn't reached its maximum height, when its speed is 0 m/s. We know this because if you use a=v/t to calculate t (the time it takes for the rock to reach its max height), you'll find that t=1.11 s. Even if you didn't realize that, you can use this equation: \[d=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\]

OpenStudy (badhi):

Even for \(t>1.11s\) you can jst use the matt101's equation and find the position. That means you dont need to be worried whether the given time (here t=1.001) is less than the time of the objects maximum height (in here t = 1.11s)
