# You stand at the edge of a vertical cliff and throws a stone vertically upwards. The stone leaves your hand with a speed v = 8.0 m/s. The time between the stone leaving your hand and hitting the sea is 3.0 s. Assume air resistance is negligible.

You stand at the edge of a vertical cliff and throws a stone vertically upwards. The stone leaves your hand with a speed v = 8.0 m/s. The time between the stone leaving your hand and hitting the sea is 3.0 s. Assume air resistance is negligible. Calculate:

**Part a)** The maximum height reached by the stone (the distance above the cliff). *(3 points)*

**Part b)** The time taken by the stone to reach its maximum height. *(2 points)*

**Part c)** The height of the cliff. *(2 points)*
