The First Stone.
d1 = 0.5g*t^2 = 4.9*(1.5)^2 = 11 m. =
Distance traveled by 1st stone after
1,5 s.
V^2 = Vo^2 + 2g*d.
V^2 = 0 + 19.6*11 = 215.6
V = 14.68 m/s = Velocity of 1st stone after 1.5 s.
d1 = Vo*t + 0.5g*t^2 = 200-11.
16.68t + 4.9t^2 = 189
4.9t^2 + 16.68t - 189 = 0.
Use Quadratic Formula.
Tf = 4.74 s. = Fall time or time for each stone to reach Gnd.
The 2nd Stone.
d = Vo*t + 0.5g*t^2 = 200 m.
Vo*4.74 + 4.9*(4.74)^2 = 200
4.74Vo + 110.1 = 200
4.74Vo = 200-110.1 = 89.9
Vo = 19 m/s.
Correction(TYPO).
Change 16.68 to 14.68. Then Tf will be
4.89 s.
Change all 4.74s to 4.89.
Vo = 89.9/4.89 = 18.4 m/s. = Initial velocity of 2nd stone.
