Consider a tall building of height 200.0 m. A stone A is dropped from the top (from the cornice of the building). One second later another stone B is thrown vertically up from the point on the ground just below the point from where stone A is dropped.Birthstones meet at half the height of the tower. (a) Find the initial velocity of vertical throw of stone B.(b) Find the velocities of A and B, just before they meet.

Answer:

a)  v₀ = 44.27 m / s, b) stone A  v = 44.276 m / s,  stone B   v = 0.006 m / s

Explanation:

a) This is a kinematics exercise, let's start by finding the time it takes for stone A to reach half the height of the building y = 100 m

          y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ gt²

as the stone is released its initial velocity is zero

         y- y₀ = 0 - ½ g t²

         t = [tex]\sqrt{ -2(y-y_o)/g}[/tex]

         t = [tex]\sqrt{ -2(100-200)/9.8}[/tex]

         t = 4.518 s

now we can find the initial velocity of stone B to reach this height at the same time

         y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

stone B leaves the floor so its initial height is zero

         100 = 0 + v₀ 4.518 - ½ 9.8 4.518²

         100 = 4.518 v₀ - 100.02

         v₀ = [tex]\frac{100-100.02}{4.518}[/tex]

         v₀ = 44.27 m / s

   

b) the speed of the two stones at the meeting point

stone A

          v = v₀ - gt

          v = 0 - 9.8 4.518

          v = 44.276 m / s

stone B

          v = v₀ -g t

          v = 44.27 - 9.8 4.518

          v = 0.006 m / s
