1. 1D Motion Suppose ball A starts at rest and is dropped from height h. Simultaneously and from directly below, ball B is shot straight up with initial velocity vo. The acceleration due to gravity is given as g. a. (5 points) Sketch the physical situation and label your sketch with appropriate quantities from the problem statement. Choose an appropriate coordinate system. Make a table of known/given information and unknown/wanted information (this may involve reading the rest of the problem before starting). List any physical assumptions you will be making to solve the problem. b. (5 points) Find a purely symbolic algebraic expression which will predict the position above the ground yoll where the two objects collide. Your expression should be in terms of the other given variables from the problem statement: h (the height of the cliff), vo (the initial velocity of ball B) and g (the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of Earth).
