A rock is thrown upward with a velocity of 28 meters per second from the top of a 36 meter high cliff, and it misses the cliff on the way back down. When will the rock be 9 meters from the water below. Round to two decimal places.

Good morning haha ,, found this website rn while cheating on my test 🥰🥰🥰
To find the time when the rock will be 9 meters from the water below, we can use kinematic equations.
First, we need to determine the time it takes for the rock to reach its highest point. This can be done using the equation:
v = u + at
where:
v = final velocity (which is 0 at the highest point since the rock is momentarily at rest)
u = initial velocity (28 m/s, as given in the question)
a = acceleration (acceleration due to gravity, which is -9.8 m/s^2 since it acts in the opposite direction of the throwing force)
t = time
Rearranging the equation, we have:
t = (v - u) / a
Plugging the values, we get:
t = (0 - 28) / -9.8
t ≈ 2.86 seconds
So it takes approximately 2.86 seconds for the rock to reach its highest point.
Next, we can calculate the total time of flight by multiplying the time to reach the highest point by 2. This is because the time taken to reach the maximum height is equal to the time taken to fall from the maximum height to the initial level.
Total time of flight = 2 * 2.86 seconds = 5.72 seconds
Now, we need to find the position of the rock at different times during its flight. We can use the equation for vertical displacement:
s = ut + (1/2)at^2
where:
s = displacement
u = initial velocity
t = time
a = acceleration
Since the rock was thrown upward, the initial velocity is positive and the acceleration due to gravity is negative.
First, let's find the position (displacement) of the rock when it reaches its highest point.
s = ut + (1/2)at^2
s = 28 * 2.86 + (1/2)(-9.8)(2.86)^2
s ≈ 40.17 meters
Therefore, the rock reaches a height of approximately 40.17 meters at its highest point.
Next, we need to find the time when the rock will be 9 meters from the water below. We can now use the equation:
s = ut + (1/2)at^2
Rearranging the equation, we have:
t = √((s - (1/2)at^2) / u)
Plugging in the given values:
t = √((36 - (1/2)(-9.8)t^2) / 28)
To solve this equation, we can use numerical methods or approximation techniques. In this case, we will use the trial and error method to obtain a reasonably accurate answer.
By substituting various values for time (t), we can approximate the time when the rock will be 9 meters from the water below.
After trying different values, we find that when t ≈ 3.51 seconds (rounded to two decimal places), the rock will be approximately 9 meters from the water below.
Therefore, the rock will be 9 meters from the water below at approximately 3.51 seconds.
