Given information

As per the given question and solution (a)

  • First child bounces and covers one-and-a-half the height more than the second child.
  • From (a), it is clear that distance covered by first child

 

Acceleration due to gravity always acts downwards,  

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

To determine the initial speed of first child we will use the third equation of motion,

The third equation of motion:

 

Where,    is the final velocity,    is the initial velocity,    is the acceleration and    is the displacement

Let the initial velocity of the first child be  

At the maximum height, velocity would be zero.  

Substitute the values and solve.
