Heather and Jerry are standing on a bridge 53m above a river. Heather throws a rock straight down with a speed of 12m/s . Jerry, at exactly the same instant of time, throws a rock straight up with the same speed. Ignore air resistance.

How much time elapses between the first splash and the second splash?

a. wouldn't it just be the amount of time the rock thrown upward takes to pass the bridge on the way down?
