Homework Statement



A stone is dropped from the roof of a high building. A second stone is dropped 1.50 s later. How far apart are the stones when the second one has reached a speed of 11.0 m/s?

The Attempt at a Solution



i need help setting up the problem i don't know how
 
Physics news on Phys.org
i got the displacement of the first one as 6.17 m how do i get the second one?
 
There's no way I can tell you you're right or not if I don't see your work! Try calculating the time when the stone reaches 11m/s. Then you can perhaps find the displacement of the second stone at this time.
