Question
Heather is at the bottom of a cliff and jerry is 30 m directly above her at the top of the cliff. Jerry throws a marble vertically downward with a velocity 15 m/s and at the same instant Heather releases her marble. Draw a free body diagram.a.) How long does it take for the two balls to meet?
b.) Where do they meet Heather is at the bottom of a cliff and jerry is 30 m directly above her at the top of the cliff. Jerry throws a marble vertically downward with a velocity 15 m/s and at the same instant Heather releases her marble. Draw a free body diagram.

a.) How long does it take for the two balls to meet?
b.) Where do they meet
Explanation / Answer
1] relative position = 30 m
relative velocity = 15 m/s
relative acceleration = 9.8+ 9.8 = 19.6
they will meet after = 30/15 = 2 s
b] balls meet at h = (0*2 )+ 4.9*2^2
= 19.6 m from Heather position
