Homework Statement
a ball is shot straight up from the ground with speed Vo. simultaneously, a second rubber ball at height h directly above the first ball is dropped from rest
at what height above the ground do the balls collide?asnwer should be a symbolic expression in terms of Vo and g.
Homework Equations
kinematics equations
The Attempt at a Solution
we can use (delta)x = Vot + 1/2 a t2 and since we know that the final positions are equal we can write this equation for the 2 balls and make them equal to each other
but the equation of the second ball would have a x(initial) for the ball in the equation (assuming the base line is the ground)...
can someone help me out please. Thanks in advanced
