To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of both balls: one that is dropped vertically and another that is projected horizontally. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion**: - When the first ball is dropped from the top of the building, it has an initial vertical velocity of 0 m/s and is subjected to gravitational acceleration (g). - The second ball is projected horizontally with an initial horizontal velocity (v_x) and also experiences gravitational acceleration (g) in the vertical direction. ...
