A red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 1.4 m/s from a height of 28 meters above the ground. Then, 0.6 seconds after the red ball is thrown, a blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 24.9 m/s, from a height of 0.9 meters above the ground. The force of gravity due to the earth results in the balls each having a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s?.

Question

Please do question 5 the others are all correct.

A red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 1.4 m/s from a
height of 28 meters above the ground. Then, 0.6 seconds after the
red ball is thrown, a blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed
of 24.9 m/s, from a height of 0.9 meters above the ground. The force
of gravity due to the earth results in the balls each having a constant
downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s².
