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. Calculate when and where the two stones will meet.
Answers
Answer:
t= 4s, x = 21.6m
For dropped stone -
X = 0+ 1/2gt2
For thrown up stine-
100-x = 25t-1/2gt2
from above two equations
get t= 4 s
put t =4 in first equation
get x= 78.4 m
100-x = 100-78.4= 21.6m
Answer:
let "t" = time after which both stones meet
"S" = distance travelled by the stone dropped from the top of tower
(100-S) = distance travelled by the projected stone.
◆ i) For stone dropped from the top of tower
-S = 0 + 1/2 (-10) t²
or, S = 5t²
◆ ii) For stone projected upward
(100 - S) = 25t + 1/2 (-10) t²
= 25t - 5t²
Adding i) and ii) , We get
100 = 25t
or t = 4 s
Therefore, Two stones will meet after 4 s.
◆ ¡¡¡) Put value of t = 4 s in Equation i) , we get
S = 5 × 16
= 80 m.
Thus , both the stone will meet at a distance of 80 m from the top of tower.
