Problem

Two identical balls A and B are released from rest at the same instant from heights of 45 m45\,\text{m} and 20 m20\,\text{m}, respectively. Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^2. (i) Find the time taken by each ball to reach the ground. (ii) Calculate the speed with which each ball hits the ground. (iii) Which ball has the greater average velocity during its descent? Justify your answer with calculations.
