Q1. A bell is thrown upward with a velocity of 29.4m/s. After 3 seconds another ball is thrown upwards with a velocity of 19.6m/s. At what height and at what time will the two balls collide?
Q2. A stone after falling freely under gravity for 1 second strikes a pane of glass held horizontally. In breaking through the pane it loses half of its velocity. How far will it travel or fall in the next 2 seconds?
Solution
Q1
h1=v1t−2gt2,h2=v2(t−3)−2g(t−3)2h1=h2≫v1t−2gt2=v2(t−3)−2g(t−3)2≫t=v2−v1+3g3v2+4.5g=5.25s
or (t−3)=5.25−3=2.25s after throwing the second stone
h(2.25)=29.4×5.25−29.8×5.252=19.3m
Q2
Velocity of the stone flew one second
v=gt=g⋅1=g
In breaking through the pane it loses half of its velocity, so
v0=v/2=g/2h=v0t+2gt2=2gt+2gt2≫h(2)=2gt+2gt2=3g=29.4m
