Free Fall. Allan is on the ground YA,0 = 0 [m], and Bob is directly above him at YB,0 = 172.[m]. Bob drops a cannonball at the same time Allan shoots a similar cannonball directly upward. Allan’s cannonball was launched with enough speed so that both cannonballs will collide just as Allan’s cannonball reached its maximum height. What is the initial speed of Allan's cannonball ?
