A stone is thrown vertically into the air from the top of tower 100m high. At the same instant a second stone is thrown upward from the ground. The initial velocity of first stone is 50m/s and that of second stone is 75m/s. When and where will the
stones be at the same height from the ground.

Concept:
The second equation of motion,
s = ut + (1/2) at²
where s is the distance traveled, u is the initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is the time.
Given:
The height of the tower, h = 100m
The velocity of the first stone, v₁ = 50 m/s
The velocity of the second stone, v₂ = 75 m/s
Find:
The height from the ground and the time at which both stones will meet.
Solution:
Let, the distance traveled by the first stone is x and distance traveled by the first stone be y.
According to the equation of motion,
s = ut + (1/2)at²
Distance traveled by the first stone, acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity as the stone is thrown downwards,
x = 50t + (1/2)gt²
Similarly, distance traveled by the second stone, acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity with a negative sign as the stone is thrown upwards,
y = 75t + (1/2)-gt² = 75t - (1/2)gt²
The stones will meet somewhere between the tower,
So, x + y = h (Height of tower) = 100 m
Substituting the values of x and y,
x + y = 50t + (1/2)gt² + 75t - (1/2)gt² = 100
125 t = 100 m
t = 100/125 s = 0.8 s
Distance from the ground at the point they will meet will be y at t = 0.8 s,
y = 75t - (1/2)gt² = 75 (0.8) - (1/2)×9.8(0.8)²
y = 60 - 3.136 = 56.864 m
Hence, the stones will meet at a distance of 56.864 m from the ground after 0.8 s.
