In this question use g=9.8g = 9.8g=9.8 m s−2^{-2}−2
A ball A A\,A is released from rest at a point PPP, which is h h\,h metres above horizontal ground.
Exactly one second later a ball B B\,B is thrown vertically downwards from P P\,P with speed 14.7 m s−1^{-1}−1.
Both balls move freely under gravity and hit the ground at the same instant.
Show that A A\,A is in motion for 2 seconds before it hits the ground.
Find the value of hhh.
Find the difference between the speeds of the two balls as they hit the ground.
