A ball is shot vertically into the air at a velocity of 58 m/s. After 6 seconds, another ball is shot vertically into the air. If the balls meet 122 m from the ground, determine the relative position (in m) of the first ball to the second ball 9 seconds after the first ball was shot into the air. Use 9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.

Question

A ball is shot vertically into the air at a velocity of 58 m/s. After 6 seconds, another ball is shot vertically into the air. If the balls meet 122 m from the ground,  determine the relative position (in m) of the first ball to the second ball 9 seconds after the first ball was shot into the air. Use 9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
