He couldn't provide as much satisfactory explaining for the force that pushes or pulls the continents also because it contradicted their ideas about how mountains form.

I think they were also too skeptic to believe the ocean did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously.

Answer:

at t=46/22, x=24 699/1210 ≈ 24.56m

Explanation:

The general equation for location is:

x(t) = x₀ + v₀·t + 1/2 a·t²

Where:

x(t) is the location at time t. Let's say this is the height above the base of the cliff.

x₀ is the starting position. At the base of the cliff we'll take x₀=0 and at the top x₀=46.0

v₀ is the initial velocity. For the ball it is 0, for the stone it is 22.0.

a is the standard gravity. In this example it is pointed downwards at -9.8 m/s².

Now that we have this formula, we have to write it two times, once for the ball and once for the stone, and then figure out for which t they are equal, which is the point of collision.

Ball: x(t) = 46.0 + 0 - 1/2*9.8 t²

Stone: x(t) = 0 + 22·t - 1/2*9.8 t²

Since both objects are subject to the same gravity, the 1/2 a·t² term cancels out on both side, and what we're left with is actually quite a simple equation:

46 = 22·t

so t = 46/22 ≈ 2.09

Put this t back into either original (i.e., with the quadratic term) equation and get:

x(46/22) = 46 - 1/2 * 9.806 * (46/22)² ≈ 24.56 m
