Question:

The velocity v of an object that falls through a distance h is given by v = √2gh, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Two objects are dropped from heights that differ by 10.0 m such that the sum of their velocities when they strike the ground is 20.0 m/s. Find the heights from which they are dropped if g = 9.80 m/s 2.
