3. A beach volleyball player jumps for a spike in the air (see picture on the right). While airborne, he bumps his sunglasses and starts to fall. Meanwhile, the sun shines into his eyes, and he misses the volleyball set by his partner with a perfect parabolic line. The peak height of the ball during flight is 4 m. At the moment he drops his sunglasses, the ball has a vertical height, horizontal, and vertical velocity showed in the picture. Will the sunglasses or the volleyball hit the ground first (ignore air resistance)? Justify your answer. (Hint: check the initial vertical velocity)
