Problem

Ball A is released from rest from a balcony 25 m above the ground. One second later, Ball B is launched downward from the same point with an initial speed of 15 m/s. Neglect air resistance and take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 m/s². Measured from the instant Ball B is launched, determine the time it takes for the two balls to be at the same vertical position.
