In summary, the conversation discusses a problem involving the motion of two balls, one projected vertically upwards and the other thrown vertically downwards from a balcony. The goal is to calculate the height of the first ball at the moment the two balls pass each other. The speaker also mentions a website, brilliant.org, which may have similar problems on one-dimensional kinematics for practice.

Homework Statement


Ball A is projected vertically upwards at a velocity of 15 m/s from the ground. Ignore the effects of air resistance. One second after Ball A is projected, a second ball B, is thrown vertically downwards at a velocity of 9 m/s from a balcony 30m above the ground. Calculate how high above the ground ball A will be at the instant the two balls pass each other.

I cannot seem to find similar questions like this on the net. Either I find very simple one dimensional kinematics problems, or I find two-dimensional kinematics, which is not touched on in our school syllabus.

Is there any place that I can get similar one dimensional questions, or just challenging questions on one dimensional kinematics.

Thanks :)
