Solving for maximum height of a vertically thrown rock
The maximum height that the 2 kg rock can reach can be determined using the equation h = (v2) / (2g), where h is the maximum height, v is the initial vertical velocity, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s2 on Earth). In this case, h = (10 m/s)2 / (2*9.81 m/s2) = 1.02 meters.
Therefore, the rock will reach a maximum height of approximately 1.02 meters.
