Question

1. (4p) One object is dropped from a height h = 1.0202030304040505 m (initial velocity is zero) and it hits the ground after a time t1. A second object is launched horizontally from the same height h = 1.0202030304040505 m (as shown in the figure below) with the horizontal velocity v0 = 1.0102030405 m/s, and it hits the ground after a time t2. Compute the time difference Δt = t2 – t1. (Neglect the air friction). Explain your answer. Show your work. A numerical value is required for credit. If you round or truncate any numerical value at any point in the computation you get zero.
