- A blue person throwsan object with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 37 degrees. A green person stands 15 meters in front of the blue person and throws an object straight up. Assume that both objects are thrown from the same initial elevation. a) if the green person throws their object with an initial speed of 20 m/s at what time should they throw it strikes the other object while it is traveling upward? measure this time relative to when the blue person throws their object?arrow_forwardA projectile is thrown from the top of a 50m building with an initial speed of 10m/s and an angle of 35 degrees.

At the same time, a second student throws a lighter blue ball horizontally fromthe same balcony with an initial speed v0 /2. Ignoring air resistance, which of the followingstatements must be true?a. The red ball hits the ground with the greater speed.b. Both balls hit the ground with the same vertical velocity component.c. Both balls hit the ground with the same angle of impactd. The balls reach the ground at the same instant. More than one of the statements can be true.arrow_forward
