Answer 1

this above shows that the motion of stone is actually stopped or retarded due to the presence of any parachute type material,

the reason of this is according to the gravitational acceleration or 'g' is 9.8ms$^{-2}$

due to which it should cover 9.8 metre in 1 second,

hence we can say that whether the height from which the stone is dropped is very high due to which the value of gravitational acceleration is decreased, or the stone is tied to any parachute
