a woman stands near the edge of a cliff and drops a stone over the edge. exactly one second later she drops another stone. one second after that, how fast is the distance between the two stones changing?



Answer :

The two stones will fall at the different time. But the difference between the time is just of one second.

The distance of the cliff is also considered. Here, the speed or velocity is asked. To calculate this we have to use the equation of motion.

There are three equations of motion.

We have;

The kinematic equation of motion that can be used is s = ut - (1/2)·gt²

For the first stone, we have, s₁ = ut₁ - (1/2)·gt₁²

For the second stone, we get; s₂ = ut₂ - (1/2)·gt₂²

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

s = The distance below the cliff top

The initial velocity of the stones, u = 0

To calculate the change of distance between the two stones,

we will subtract the two equation of motions are

s₁-s₂

With all the values kept together in the equation of motion, we can easily find the change of distance between the two stones.
