Draw a sketch. We are asked to determine the position y at various times. It is reasonable to take the initial position y0 to be zero. This problem involves one-dimensional motion in the vertical direction. We use plus and minus signs to indicate direction, with up being positive and down negative. Since up is positive, and the rock is thrown upwar...
1. Identify the knowns. We know that y0 = 0; v0 = 13.0 m/s; a = −g = −9.80 m/s2; and t = 1.00 s. 2. Identify the best equation to use. We will use y=y0+v0t+12at2y=y0+v0t+12at2 because it includes only one unknown, y (or y1, here), which is the value we want to find. 3. Plug in the known values and solve for y1. y1=0+(13.0 m/s)(1.00 s)+12(−9.80m/s2)...
The rock is 8.10 m above its starting point at t = 1.00 s, since y1 > y0. It could be moving up or down; the only way to tell is to calculate v1and find out if it is positive or negative.
1. Identify the knowns. We know that y0 = 0; v0 = 13.0 m/s; a = −g = −9.80 m/s2; and t = 1.00 s. We also know from the solution above that y1 = 8.10 m. 2. Identify the best equation to use. The most straightforward is v=v0−gtv=v0−gt (from v=v0+atv=v0+at where a = gravitational acceleration = −g). 3. Plug in the knowns and solve. v1=v0−gt=13.0 m/s−(...
The procedures for calculating the position and velocity at t = 2.00 s and 3.00 sare the same as those above. The results are summarized in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 3. Graphing the data helps us understand it more clearly.

where \(\Delta\)x is displacement, x f is the final position, and x 0 is the initial position. We use the uppercase Greek letter delta (\(\Delta\)) to mean “change in” whatever quantity follows it; thus, \(\Delta\)x means change in position (final position less initial position).
