a person standing on a tower throws a stone vertically upward with a velocity u and drops another stone downward with same initial velocity which stone will strike with larger velocity?

Answered by Rehman11

both of them will reach ground with same velocity but time taken for stone thrown upward will be t/2 secs more than stone dropped.

Pallabi2001: can u plz explain why both will strike with same velocity?

Rehman11: taking logically, until the one thrown upward comes again to its original position from where, it was projected, the other one covers half of minimal distance. thus this stone which comes to original position has some velocity at that point equal to one dropped. since both were projected at same initial velocity, time taken will be different due to air resistance but since final velocity is zero thus both reaches ground at same instance.

Hey Mate! Here's ur answer.

The stone which is thrown vertically upwards will strike the ground with more velocity bcz there is a difference of height. The stone which is thrown upwards will have more height and will gain more velocity whereas the other stone is dropped from less height in comparison to the other stone so the velocity will be less in comparison.

I Hope It Helps......☺️
