Problem Solutions
1. An object is dropped from 320 m high. Find the time of motion and velocity when it
hits the ground.(g=10m/s2)
 h=1/2.g.t2  , v=g.t  
h=320m
g=10m/s2
320=1/2.10.t2
t=8s.
v=g.t=10.8=80m/s

2. An object does free fall and it takes 60m distance during last 2 seconds of its motion.
Find the height it is dropped.(g=10m/s2)
t is the time of motion
h=1/2.g.t2
h1=1/2.g.t12
put t1=t-2 and h-h1=60 in the equation,
1/2.g.t2-1/2.g.t12=60
5t2-5(t2-4t+4)=60
t=4s
h=1/2.g.t2=1/2.10.42=80m
 

3. An object is dropped from 144m height and it does free fall motion. Distance it travels
and time of motion are given in the picture below. Find the distance between points B-C.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We can draw velocity time graph of object and area under this graph gives us position
of the object.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As you can see from the velocity time graph, object travels 5h distance during 2t-3t
which is the distance between the points B and C.
All distance traveled is 36h
144m=36h
h=4m
Distance between B-C=5h=5.4m=20m

4. A hot- air balloon having initial velocity v0 rises. Stone dropped from this balloon,
when it is 135 m height, hits the ground after 9 s. Find the velocity of the balloon.
 
 
-h=v0.tfligth-1/2.g.tfligth2
-135=v0.9-1/2.10.(9)2
-135=9vo-405
9v0=270
v0=30m/s
 
 
 
 
 
5. Look at the given picture below. Object K does free fall motion and object B thrown
upward at the same time. They collide after 2s. Find the initial velocity of object B.
(g=10m/s2)
 
Object A does free fall motion
hA=1/2.10.22=20m
hL=v0.t-1/2.g.t2
hL=v0.2-1/2.10.22
hL=2v0-20
 hK+hL=80m
20m+hL=80m
2v0-20=60m
v0=40m/s
