A person standing downward on a tower throws a stone vertically upward with a velocity u and drops another stone downward with same initial velocity. Which stone will strike the earth with a larger velocity ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which stone will strike the earth with a larger velocity, we can analyze the motion of both stones using the principles of kinematics. ### Step 1: Analyze the stone thrown upward 1. The stone thrown upward with an initial velocity \( u \) will first move upward until it reaches its maximum height. 2. At the maximum height, its final velocity will be \( 0 \) m/s. 3. The time taken to reach the maximum height can be calculated using the equation: \[ v = u + at ...
