Answer:
The two stones will meet after 4 seconds when the falling stone has covered a height of 80m.
Explanation:
Height ( h ) = 100m
Time ( t ) = ?
g = 10 m/s²
Height covered by the falling stone = s₁
Therefore, s₁ = ut + 1/2gt²
s₁ = 0 × t + 1/2 ( 10 ) t²
s₁ = 5t² ..................................... ( 1 )
Let ,The distance covered by the stone thrown upward = s₂
g = ₋ 10 m/s
u = 25 m/s
s₂ = ut + 1/2 gt²
Therefore, s₂ = 25t + 1/2 ( - 10 ) t²
s₂ = 25t -5t² ..................................... ( 2 )
Total height given = 100m
∴ s₁ + s₂ = 100m
5t² + ( 25t - 5t² ) = 100m
∴ 25t = 100m
t = 100/25 = 4 seconds
..................................... ( 3 )
Putting the value of equation ( 3 ) in equation ( 1 ), we get
∴ s₁ = 5 t²
= 5 × ( 4 )²
= 80m
Therefore, The two stones will meet after 4 seconds when the falling stone has covered a height of 80m.
