\n" ); document.write( "2. A stone is dropped from the top of the building 20m high. A second stone is dropped from half-way up the same building. Find the time that should elapse between the release of the two stones if they are to reach the ground at the same time.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The dropped stones have zero initial velocity.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So,  h= \"%28g%2At%5E2%29%2F2\",  where  g  is free fall acceleration  9.81 \"m%2Fs%5E2\",  t  is time in seconds and  h  is the traveled distance  (the height)  by the falling body.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus we have two equations for two falling bodies:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20 = \"%289.81%2At%5B1%5D%5E2%29%2F2\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10 = \"%289.81%2At%5B2%5D%5E2%29%2F2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find  \"t%5B1%5D\"  and  \"t%5B2%5D\"  from these equations.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then  \"t%5B1%5D\" - \"t%5B2%5D\"  would be your answer.\r
