Two students are on a balcony a distance h above the street. One student throws a ball vertically downward at a speed vi ; at the same time, the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. Answer the following symbolically in terms of vi, g, h, and t. (a) What is the time interval between when the first ball strikes the ground and the second ball strikes the ground? (b) Find the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground. (c) How far apart are the balls at a time t after they are thrown and before they strike the ground?

A person standing at the edge of a cliff throws one ball straight up and another ball straight down at the same initial speed. Neglecting air resistance, the ball to hit the ground below the cliff with the greater speed is the one initially thrown 1. Upward 2.Downward 3.Neither—they both hit at the same speed I know the answer is 3. But I dont know how to prove it. Plz help with it.

Astronaut Mary is standing at the edge of a vertical cliff a distance h above horizontal ground on a distant planet. She performs an experiment where she throws a magnetized steel ball horizontally off the cliff with initial speed v. After leaving Mary’s hand, the ball undergoes a horizontal displacement D before landing on the ground. Only gravity acts on the ball during this flight. Mary repeats this experiment. However, during this 2nd experiment, a strong magnet is placed nearby...
