Collision occurs before the first ball falls back


A rubber ball is shot straight up from the ground with speed v0. Simultaneously, a second rubber ball at height h directly above the first ball is dropped from rest.

a. At what height above the ground do the balls collide? Your answer will be a symbolic expression in terms of v0 and g.

b. What is the maximum value of h for which a collision occurs before the first ball falls back to the ground?

c. For what value of h does the collision occur at the instant when the first ball is at its highest point?
