One ball is dropped at rest from a height of h = 75 m. At the same time, another ball is thrown upward from the ground with initial velocity v2 = 34 m/s. It takes Δt time for them to meet on the way. Defining the positive direction going upward, what is the acceleration of the two balls, a in m/s2? Express the displacement of the ball falling down, Δy1, when the two balls meet in terms of Δt and a. Express the displacement of the ball going upward, Δy2, when the two balls meet in terms of v2, a, and Δt. Express h in terms of Δy1 and Δy2. Calculate the numerical value of Δy2, in meters, which represents the height at which the two balls meet.
For the case of freefall, explain how to calculate the total distance traveled and the instantaneous velocity for an object that is dropped from rest by applying the fundamental meaning of acceleration and by using the two equations: Vavg=(vf+vi)/2 and d=vavg*t. Is this method applicable only for the case of freefall and with an initial velocity of zero, or is it always applicable to cases where the acceleration of an object is constant and parallel, or antiparallel, to the direction of motion? Explain.
