The correct answer is option B. The maximum height that can be reached by the stone is determined as 11.5 m.
Maximum height attained by the stone
The maximum height attained by the stone when it is a 2/3 of its total height is calculated as follows;
v² = u² - 2gh
where;
- v is final velocity at maximum height, v = 0
- u is initial velocity
- g is acceleration due to gravity
0 = u² - 2gh
2gh = u²
h = u²/2g
h = (15²)/(2 x 9.8)
h = 11.48 m
h = 11.5 m
Thus, the maximum height that can be reached by the stone is determined as 11.5 m
