An object is dropped from a 45 m high building. At the same time, another object is thrown upward with a velocity of 8.5 ms 1. How high above the ground will the two objects meet?

(With work please)

-92.33 (meaning the objects will not meet above the ground).

Explanation:

We can use the kinematic equation displacement = initial velocity*time + 1/2*acceleration*time^2.

We can plug in the known values of the 2 objects into the equation, where t is the time and x is the displacement:

x = 0*t + 1/2*(-9.8)*t^2+45

x = 8.5*t + 1/2*(-9.8)*t^2

We need to first solve for t to solve for x. Since both equations are equal to x, we can set them equal to each other and solve for t:

0*t + 1/2*(-9.8)*t^2+45 = 8.5*t + 1/2*(-9.8)*t^2

-4.9*t^2 +45 = 8.5*t + -4.9*t^2

45 = 8.5*t

t = 45/8.5 ≈5.294

Now, we can plug t as 5.294 into any of the equations above to solve for x:

x = 0*5.294 + 1/2*-9.8*(5.294)^2+45 ≈ -92.33

That means, the objects will not meet above the ground.

the components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are to each other.
