b. The maximum height the stone reaches
c. The time needed for the stone to return to the level of the thrower
d. The velocity of the stone at the instant it returns to the level of the thrower
e. The velocity of the stone and position of the stone at t=5 seconds
f. The velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground
g. The total time the stone is in the air
