Question

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
v2-u2 = 2asv = 0u = 19.8 m/s a= -gwe get s = 19.6 m

because at top most point final velocity will be zero.
time taken to cover this height is
s = ut + 1/2at2s = 19.6 mu = 19.6 m/s a = -gwe get t = 2 s

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.
