a stone is thrown vertically upward with velocity 19.6 m/s . after 2second another stone is thrown upward with velocity 9.8m/s. when where will these stone collide?(g=9.8m/s2)

Solution
Initial speed of the first stone = 19.6 m/s
Upward distance covered by this stone
because at top most point final velocity will be zero.
time taken to cover this height is
so it will take same time to reach ground
total time taken by first stone to reach ground = 2+2 = 4s
this means when first stone is at the top most point then second stone is projected upward.
similarly for the second stone upward distance travelled will be 4.9 m and time taken to reach at the top most point will ne 1 second after the time of projection.
it will also take same time to reach ground so total time of whole journey of the second stone will be 1+1= 2 s after the projection time.
As stone was projected after 2 s then net time is 2+2 = s.
Therefore after the second both the stones will come to the ground and they will collide at the ground.
