Answer:

The rock will be be 5  meters from ground level at time = 3.713 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know-

[tex]s(t) = -4.9 * t^2 + v_0t + s_0[/tex]

V0 = velocity

S0 = height above ground when thrown

Substituting the given values, we get -  

[tex]9 = -4.9* t^2 + 12 * t +32\\-4.9*t^2 +12*t + 23 = 0[/tex]

As per the formula

[tex]t = \frac{-12+ \sqrt{12^2 -4*(-4.9)*23} }{(2*(-4.9)} \\t = 3.713[/tex]

The rock will be be 5  meters from ground level at time = 3.713 seconds
