Two stones are thrown up simultaneously from the edge of a cliff 200 m high with initial speeds of 15 m/s and 30 m/s. Verify that the graph shown in Fig. 3.27 correctly represents the time variation of the relative position of the second stone with respect to the first. Neglect air resistance and assume that the stones do not rebound after hitting the ground. Take g = 10 m/s2. Give the equations for the linear and curved parts of the plot.
उत्तर १
For first stone,
x (0) = 200 m, v (0) = 15 ms-1, a = -10 ms-2
x1 (t) = x (0) + v (0) t + 1/2 a t2
x1 (t) = 200 + 15t – 5t2
When the first stone hits the ground, x1 (t) = 0
– 5t2 + 15t+ 200 = 0 On simplification, t = 8 s
For second stone, x (0) = 200 m, v (0) = 30 ms-1, a = -10 ms-2x1 (t) = 200 + 30t – 5t2
When this stone hits the ground, x1(t) = 0 .-. -5t2 + 30t + 200 = 0
Relative position of second stone w.r.t. first is given by x2 (t) – x1 (t) = 15t
Since there is a linear relationship between x2(t) – x1 (t) and t, therefore the graph is a straight line.
For maximum separation, t = 8 s So maximum separation is 120 m
After 8 second, only the second stone would be in motion. So, the graph is in accordance with the quadratic equation.

For first stone:
Initial velocity, uI = 15 m/s
Acceleration, a = –g = – 10 m/s2
Using the relation,
`x_1 = x_0 + u_1t+ 1/2 at^2`
Where height of the cliff `x_0 = 200 m`
`x_1 = 200 + 15t - 5t^2` ... i
When this stone hits the ground, x1 = 0
∴– 5t2 + 15t + 200 = 0
t2 – 3t – 40 = 0
t2 – 8t + 5t – 40 = 0
t (t – 8) + 5 (t – 8) = 0
t = 8 s or t = – 5 s
Since the stone was projected at time t = 0, the negative sign before time is meaningless.
∴t = 8 s
For second stone:
Initial velocity, uII = 30 m/s
Acceleration, a = –g = – 10 m/s2
Using the relation,
`x_2=x_0 + u_11t + 1/2at^2`
`=200 + 30t - 5t^2` ...(ii)
At the moment when this stone hits the ground; x2 = 0
– 5t2 + 30 t + 200 = 0
t2 – 6t – 40 = 0
t2 – 10t + 4t + 40 = 0
t (t – 10) + 4 (t – 10) = 0
t (t – 10) (t + 4) = 0
t = 10 s or t = – 4 s
Here again, the negative sign is meaningless.
∴t = 10 s
Subtracting equations (i) and (ii), we get
`x_2 -x _1 = (200+30t-5t^2)-(200+15t-5t^2)`
`x_2-x_1 = 15t ...(iii)`
Equation (iii) represents the linear path of both stones. Due to this linear relation between (x2 – x1) and t, the path remains a straight line till 8 s.
Maximum separation between the two stones is at t = 8 s.
(x2 – x1)max = 15× 8 = 120 m
This is in accordance with the given graph.
After 8 s, only second stone is in motion whose variation with time is given by the quadratic equation:
x2 – x1 = 200 + 30t – 5t2
Hence, the equation of linear and curved path is given by
x2 – x1 = 15t (Linear path)
x2 – x1 = 200 + 30t – 5t2 (Curved path)

A popular game in Indian villages is goli which is played with small glass balls called golis. The goli of one player is situated at a distance of 2.0 m from the goli of the second player. This second player has to project his goli by keeping the thumb of the left hand at the place of his goli, holding the goli between his two middle fingers and making the throw. If the projected goli hits the goli of the first player, the second player wins. If the height from which the goli is projected is 19.6 cm from the ground and the goli is to be projected horizontally, with what speed should it be projected so that it directly hits the stationery goli without falling on the ground earlier?
