A red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 1.3 m/s froma height of 27 meters above the ground. Then, 0.5 seconds after thered ball is thrown, a blue ball is thrown upward with an initialspeed of 24.8 m/s, from a height of 0.7 meters above the ground.The force of gravity due to the earth results in the balls eachhaving a constant downward acceleration of 9.81m/s2.
