6 Ali is throwing flat stones onto water, hoping that they will bounce, as illustrated in Fig. 5.
Ali throws one stone from a height of 1.225 m above the water with initial speed \(20 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) in a horizontal direction. Air resistance should be neglected. \begin{figure}[h]

  1. Find the time it takes for the stone to reach the water.
  2. Find the speed of the stone when it reaches the water and the angle its trajectory makes with the horizontal at this time.
