AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the stone when it is thrown vertically upwards and then comes back to the thrower's hands. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion**: - When the stone is thrown upwards, it travels a distance 'h' to reach its maximum height. - After reaching the maximum height, it falls back down the same distance 'h' to return to the thrower's hands. ...
