Tower Height Calculation: Stone Thrown Upward Speed Formula
Question: A stone is thrown upwards with a speed v from the top of a tower.It reaches the ground with a speed 3v.What is the height of the tower? Solution: Thrown up – Sign convention Tower height calculation: Applying third equation of motion $${v^2=u^2+2as}$$ Here initial velocity u=+v Final velocity v= -3v Acceleration due to…

Ball Meeting Point Calculation: Free Fall and Vertical Projection
Question: A ball is dropped from height 100 m and another ball is projected vertically up with a velocity 50 ms-1 from the ground along the same line. Find out the position where the two balls will meet? Solution: First case, when the first ball is dropped Motion under gravity- Sign convention $${100-y=\frac{1}{2}gt^2}$$ $${y=100-\frac{1}{2}gt^2}$$ Let…
