Let us suppose that two balls meet after a time 't' at a height 'h' above the ground.
For the ball drop from the top:The ball will cover a distance of (200 - h) metersTherefore, u = 0 ;
S = (200 - h) meters .
And, a =g= 9.8ms-2
So, S = ut + 1/2 at2
or, 200 - h = 0 x t +1/2 at2
or, 200 - h = 4.9t2 ...........................................(i)
For the ball thrown upwards :u = 40ms-1 ;S = h;
And, a = g = -9.8ms-2 (-ve value of g since it is thrown upwards)
Again, S = ut + 1/2 at2
Therefore, h = 40 x t + 1/2(-9.8)t2
or, h = 40t - 4,9t2 ..............................................(ii)
Adding the equations (i) and (ii), we get
200 - h + h = 4.9t2 +40t - 4.9t2
Or, t = 5 seconds
Substituting for t = 5 seconds in (i), we have
200 - h = 4.9 x 52
Or, h = 200 - 4.9 x 52
= 200 - 122.5
= 77.5 meters
Therefore, the two balls will meet in 5 seconds and at the height of 77.5 meters........
Oops!! I have answered your question..
I know DingoBot (supervisor) will flag this . This robot doesn't know Physics terms
The highest point is the point where the ball's velocity transitions from upward to downward. At that instant, the ball's speed, velocity, momentum, and kinetic energy are all exactly zero.
You can't derive the velocity from the acceleration. Zero acceleration simply means that the velocity (at that instant) is not changing.
Assuming that there is no velocity in the horizontal direction, then the velocity at that instant is zero.
The velocity of an object at a particular instant or at a particular point of its path is called instantaneous velocity. In another word, the instantaneous velocity of an object is defined as the limiting value of the average velocity of the object in a small time interval around that instant , when the time interval approaches zero. v = dx/dt , where dx/dt is the differential coefficient of displacement "x" w.r.t. time "t"
Mainly, when the velocity doesn't change. Also, in the case of varying velocity, the instantaneous velocity might, for a brief instant, be equal to the average velocity.

the motion at that instant
It is the speed or velocity at a particular instant.
You can't derive the velocity from the acceleration. Zero acceleration simply means that the velocity (at that instant) is not changing.
Assuming that there is no velocity in the horizontal direction, then the velocity at that instant is zero.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

An "instant center" (IC) is a point that instantaneously has the same velocity in two bodies.
Mainly, when the velocity doesn't change. Also, in the case of varying velocity, the instantaneous velocity might, for a brief instant, be equal to the average velocity.
At the highest point, there's an instant when the motion is changing from upward to downward. At that exact instant, the speed is zero, and that's zero velocity.
Yes, but only for an instant.
The answer is: Instantaneous Acceleration.
