To solve the problem of finding the distance between two balls thrown horizontally from a tower when their velocity vectors become mutually perpendicular, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Motion of the Balls Two balls are thrown horizontally from the top of a tower with initial velocities \( u_1 \) and \( u_2 \) in opposite directions. The motion of each ball can be analyzed separately. ### Step 2: Determine the Velocity Vectors The velocity of each ball at time \( t \) can be expressed as: - For the first ball (thrown with velocity \( u_1 \)): ...
