Consider the projectile motion of two balls. Ball A is launchedhorizontally (no vertical component of velocity) with an initialspeed of 100 m/s from an initial position 1 m above the ground.Ball B is launched straight upward (no horizontal component ofvelocity) with an initial speed of 1 m/s from an initial position0.5 m above the ground. The two balls are launched at the sametime. Assume that air resistance doesn’t matter in this problem andassume the ground is perfectly flat.
a) What is the horizontal component of velocity for each ballwhen they hit the ground?
b) What is the vertical position of ball B when it reaches itsmaximum height?
c) What time does ball B reach its maximum height? d) Which ballreaches the ground first?
