an object Falls from rest from the top of a cliff. Another object is thrown downward from the same height 1.8 seconds later with the initial speed of 35.0 m/s.
(a) if both objects at the ground simultaneously, how high is the cliff?
(b) if, while the objects or airborne, earthquake opens a whole 20 m deep in the ground, with what speed will the second object hit the bottom
