'H' = height at any time
'T' = time after both actions
'G' = acceleration of gravity
'S' = speed at the beginning of time
Let's call 'up' the positive direction.
Let's assume that the tossed stone is tossed from the ground, not from the tower.
For the stone dropped from the 50m tower:
H = +50 - (1/2) G T²
For the stone tossed upward from the ground:
H = +20T - (1/2) G T²
When the stones' paths cross, their <em>H</em>eights are equal.
50 - (1/2) G T² = 20T - (1/2) G T²
Wow ! Look at that ! Add (1/2) G T² to each side of that equation,
and all we have left is:
50 = 20T Isn't that incredible ? ! ?
Divide each side by 20 :
<u>2.5 = T</u>
The stones meet in the air 2.5 seconds after the drop/toss.
I want to see something:
What is their height, and what is the tossed stone doing, when they meet ?
Their height is +50 - (1/2) G T² = 19.375 meters
The speed of the tossed stone is +20 - (1/2) G T = +7.75 m/s ... still moving up.
I wanted to see whether the tossed stone had reached the peak of the toss,
and was falling when the dropped stone overtook it. The answer is no ... the
dropped stone was still moving up at 7.75 m/s when it met the dropped one.
Hello, Never fear papaguy is here.
Answer: Most electromagnetic radiation from space is unable to reach the surface of the Earth. Radio frequencies, visible light and some ultraviolet light makes it to sea level. Astronomers can observe some infrared wavelengths by putting telescopes on mountain tops.

Answer:
Testable
Explanation:
A good hypothesis must always be testable.
Answer:
45 J
Explanation:
Assuming the level at which the ball is thrown upwards is the ground level,
We can use the equations of motion to obtain the maximum height covered by the ball and then calculate the potential energy
u = initial velocity of the ball = 3 m/s
h = y = vertical distance covered by the ball = ?
v = final velocity of the ball at the maximum height = 0 m/s
g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²
v² = u² + 2ay
0 = 3² + 2(-9.8)(y)
19.6y = 9
y = (9/19.6)
y = 0.459 m
The potential energy the ball will have at the top of its motion = mgh
mgh = (10)(9.8)(0.459) = 45 J
Hope this Helps!!!
Reflection. It occurs when a wave bounces from the surface of an obstacle
