Question

A stone is allowed to fall from the top of a tower 100 m high and at the same time another stone is projected vertically upwards from the ground with a velocity of 25 m/s. Where are when will the two stones meet? Chapter - Motion & Kinematic Formulas Class IX

Answer 1

Hello.... ☺


t = time

S= distance travelled by the stone

(100-S)
= distance travelled by the projected stone.


stone dropped from the top of tower:-


-S = 0 + 1/2 (-10) t²

=S = 5t²


stone projected upward:-

(100 - S) = 25t + 1/2 (-10) t²

= 25t - 5t²


Adding,

100 = 25t

or t = 4 s


so

Two stones will meet after 4 s.


Put value of t = 4 s in first Equation

S = 5 × 16

= 80 m.


both the stones will meet at a distance of 80 m from the top of tower.......



thank you ☺

Answer 2

_/\_Hello mate__here is your answer--

____________________

⚫Let the two stones meet after a time t.

CASE 1 :-When the stone dropped from the tower

u = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 ms−2

Let the displacement of the stone in time t from the top of the tower be s.

From the equation of motion,

s = ut + 1/2gt^2

⇒s = 0 × + 1/2× 9.8 ×t ^2

⇒ s = 4.9t^2 …………………… . (1)

______________________

CASE 2 :--When the stone thrown upwards

u = 25 ms−1

g = −9.8 ms−2(upward direction)

Let the displacement of the stone from the ground in time t be '

Equation of motion,

s' = ut+ 1/2gt^2

⇒s′ = 25 × − 1/2× 9.8 × t^2

⇒s′ = 25 − 4.9t^2 …………………… . (2)

_______________________

Given that the total displacement is 100 m.

s′ + s = 100

⇒ 25 − 4.9t^2 + 4.9t^2 = 100

⇒ t =100 /25 = 4 s

The falling stone has covered a distance given by (1) as = 4.9 × 4^2 = 78.4 m

Therefore, the stones will meet after 4 s at a height (100 – 78.4) = 20.6 m from the ground.

I hope, this will help you.☺

Thank you______❤
