Expert Answer:
When the first ball is thrown up, we have
u = u, v = 0, a = -g, s = H (maximum height)
Thus, we have
v2 = u2 - 2gH
0 = u2 - 2gH
H = u2/2g ...... (1)
Now, when this ball comes down from maximum height. At the same time second ball is thrown up. Let the two balls collide at height h from the ground after time t.
Thus, for first ball
H - h = 0 + ½gt2 ...... (2)
And, for second ball
h = ut - ½gt2 ...... (3)
From (2) and (3), we get
H = ut ...... (4)
Thus, from equation (1) and (4), we get
t = u/2g ...... (5)
Substitute equation (5) in equation (3)
