Question

A man releases a stone ar the top edge of a tower during the last second of its travel the stone falls through a distance of (9/25)H where H is the towes highr. Find H

Answer 1

equations of motion (EoM) use EoM v2=u2+2ax to establish velocities at positions shown in blue in drawing from EoM v=u+at for final 1 second of flight time, we can say v=u+g(1) 2gH−−−−√=2g1625H−−−−−−√+g then, solve for H [in terms of g]
