Question: At a time t = 0 a ball ( A ) is dropped from the top of a building of height H . At the

At a time t =0 a ball (A) is dropped from the top of a building of height H. At the
same time t =0, a second ball (B) is thrown straight upward, from the bottom of the
building, with a speed v0. Some time later, the balls collide a height 3
5 H above the ground
with the balls moving in opposite directions. Answer all of the below parts by expressing
your solutions in terms of the symbols H and the acceleration due to gravity g.
(a) At what time do the two balls collide?
(b) What must have been the initial speed of ball B when it was thrown?
(c) What is the relative speed of the balls when they collide?
