At the time that I'll call ' Q ', the height of the stone that was
dropped from the tower is
H = 50 - (1/2 G Q²) ,
and the height of the stone that was tossed straight up
from the ground is
H = 20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .
The stones meet when them's heights are equal,
so that's the time when
<span>50 - (1/2 G Q²) = 20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .
This is looking like it's going to be easy.
Add </span><span>(1/2 G Q²) to each side.
Then it says
50 = 20Q
Divide each side by 20: 2.5 = Q .
And there we are. The stones pass each other
2.5 seconds
after they are simultaneously launched.

Answer:
43km/h to m/s = 11.9444
Explanation:
1 km = 1000 m; 1 hr = 3600 sec. To convert km/hr into m/sec, multiply the number by 5 and then divide it by 18.
A horizontal line on a speed/time graph means a constant speed.
