Two kids decided to play with their toys, balls. The first kid is on the ground (0.00 meter), whereas the second kid is on top of a 10.00-meter tall building. The second kid threw his ball at the same time that the first kid throws another ball upward. At the time that the first kid’s ball reaches its maximum height, the two balls will collide.
i.) Compute for the initial speed of the first kid’s ball.
ii.) Determine at what time and at what height the two balls will collide.
