To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as given in the question. ### Part (a): Difference in Heights 1. **Understanding the scenario**: - The first ball (Ball 1) is dropped and falls for 5 seconds before hitting the ground. - The second ball (Ball 2) is dropped 2 seconds after Ball 1, meaning it falls for only 3 seconds before hitting the ground. ...
