A lift starts from the top of a mine shaft and descends with a constant speed of 10 m/s. 4 s later a boy throws a stone vertically upwards from the top of the shaft with a speed of 30 m/s. Find when and where stone hits the lift [take: g=10 m/s²]

5 answers

let hi be top of mine shaft
position of lift= -10t
position of stone=30t-4.9(t-4)^2

set these equal, solve for t.

then, solve for lift final postion at t.

For the stone to hit the lift, displacement of both the lift and the stone must be equal.

Let's say it hits in t second
30t-0.5gt²=-10t
Solve for t and it's the answer
