3. A game requires that two children throw a ball upward as high as possible at the same point and then to run horizontally in opposite directions. The child who travels the greater distance before their thrown ball impacts the ground wins. One child throws the ball at his arm’s height of 4 feet at a
speed of 70 ft/sec and runs leftward at a speed of 16 ft/sec. The other child does the same but was able to throw better releasing his ball at a height of
6 feet at a speed of 64 feet second then runs rightward immediately at a speed of 17.8 ft/sec. Which child wins the game?
In this lab's video you will see a steel ball being fired horizontally from a
mini-launcher. Assuming that the steel ball is approximately 1 m off the
ground when fired and first hits the ground at a distance 2m to the right
of its initial position, estimate the launch speed (in m/s) that you might
expect to find in this lab.

You are making a video for your "Lit-Sports-Shots" channel on YouTube. You plan to drop a tennis ball from a 20 story building, and simultaneously shoot a tennis ball upwards from the ground directly under the dropped ball with a tennis ball machine at 200km/hr. The upper ball is dropped from 65m above the machine opening. At what time in s after the drop/shot will the balls collide?
