Question 17

Two objects, P P\,P and QQQ, are dropped from rest from different heights above level ground.

P P\,P is released from a height of H H\,H metres.

Q Q\,Q is released T T\,T seconds after PPP, from a height of cH cH\,cH metres, where 0<c<10 < c < 10<c<1.

Both objects hit the ground exactly 4 seconds after P P\,P was released. Air resistance is modelled as negligible.

Prove that T=4(1−c)T = 4\left(1 - \sqrt{c}\right)T=4(1−c​). Fully justify your answer.
