use your basic equation for falling bodies. The height
h(t) = h0 + v0t - 1/2 gt^2
How far do you get?
A red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 1 m/s from a height of 26 meters above the ground. Then, 0.6 seconds after the red ball is thrown, a blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 23.5 m/s, from a height of 1 meters above the ground. The force of gravity due to the earth results in the balls each having a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2.
