Question
A rock is dropped from a garage roof from rest. The roof is 6.0 from the ground.
A second rock is projected straight upward from ground level at the moment the first rock was released. This second rock had an initial upward velocity of +6.0m/s. How long will this second rock take to reach maximum height?
