A stone is dropped from the top of a 20m high tower. 1sec later another stone is thrown downwards from the top. Both stones reach the ground simultaneously. If g is 10m/s2, the initial velocity of the second stone is
A stone is dropped from the top of a 20m high tower. 1sec later another stone is thrown downwards from the top. Both stones reach the ground simultaneously. If g is 10m/s2, the initial velocity of the second stone is
Explanation
I dropped ⇒ initial velocity =0
⇒ time will be given by h=12gt^2
t=√2hg=√2×20 m10 m/s^2=2 sec
II both reaches simultaneously be so ti,e taken by IInd stone will be
2 sec−1 sec=1 sec
or t′=1 sec
putting it in h=ut'+12gt^2
& h=20 m,g=10m/s^2
we get
20=u×1+5×1
⇒u=15 m/s
