Why can you just simply assume that you are working with 1 mol of air? This doesn't seem quite right to me... Edit: Well, I completed it without assuming 1 mol, and had the same answer as you did, so apparently you can. Is this since the only important thing here are ratios and not actual values?

I got it. Thank you haruspex! @Nasu: If you care the answer is

Can you tell me which equations you used? I can't conclude the problem yet.

Are you sure about that? Then the problem will state that "An equal ball B is thrown simultaneously" but I'll try that out and see where it takes me. Thanks.

Homework Statement A ball A is dropped from the top of a building of height h and simultaneously a ball B is thrown upwards and both balls collide. After the collision the ball A has the double the velocity of ball B Determine the fraction of the building where the balls collide...
