Help on this accelerated motion problem please

AI Thread Summary
A stone is dropped from a building, and a second stone is dropped 1.31 seconds later. The problem requires determining the distance between the two stones when the second stone reaches a speed of 19.3 m/s. To solve this, the time for the second stone to reach that speed must be calculated using the kinematic equations. After finding the displacement of the second stone, the displacement of the first stone must be calculated for the time elapsed plus 1.31 seconds. The final goal is to find the distance between the two stones at that moment.

Homework Statement



A stone is dropped from the roof of a high building. A second stone is dropped 1.31 s later. How far apart are the stones when the second stone has reached a speed of 19.3 m/s?

Homework Equations



well...

stone 1
V0 = 0m/s
vf = unknown
t = unknown
a = -9.8m/s/s
x = trying to find

stone 2
V0 = 0m/s
vf = 19.3m/s
t = unknown
a = -9.8m/s/s
x = trying to find

The Attempt at a Solution



That's all I know.

For stone two, find t to reach the velocity 19.3 m/s.
Using the kinematic equation, find the displacement of stone 2.
Find the displacement of stone i in time ( t+1.31s )
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
