Problem

A stone is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 20 m s−120\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} from the roof of a building that is 25 m25\,\text{m} above the ground. Neglect air resistance. (i) Calculate the maximum height reached by the stone above the roof. (ii) Find its speed when it is 10 m10\,\text{m} above the roof while moving upward. (iii) Determine its speed when it is again 10 m10\,\text{m} above the roof on its way down.
