Two Balls Thrown Upward at Different Times: Finding When They Meet

Physics · Physics — Grade 11

Question

Ball A is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity $v_0$. Ball B is thrown upward from the same point with the same initial velocity $v_0$, but $t$ seconds later. Given that $t < \dfrac{2v_0}{g}$, determine the elapsed time measured from the instant ball A is thrown until the two balls pass each other. Also find the velocity of each ball at the instant they pass.
