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.
