Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stone thrown upwards will take the same time to reach the top as it took to reach the initial point, and then it will take the same time as the first stone to hit the ground. Therefore, the total time for the second stone is t1 + t1 = 2t1. The difference in time is t1, which is 4.5 s.
