Question

Alicia throws a red ball straight up into the air, releasing it with velocity vo. As she is throwing it, you happen to pass by in an elevator that is rising with constant velocity vo. At the exact instant Alicia releases her ball, you can reach out of the elevator’s  window( this is very fancy elevator!) and gently  release  a blue ball. Both balls are the same height above the ground at the moment they released.

Describe the motion of the two balls as Alicia sees them from the ground. In what ways are the motion of the red ball and the blue ball the same or different?
