objects that meet in free fall (with a time delay) Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau are located in two floors of a building directly above each other by their windows. Trump is on the 9th floor and Trudeau is on the 10th floor where each floor is 5m high. They each have a flower pot in their hands. Trump simply drops his flower pot out of the window (from rest). Trudeau hesitates for 0.5s and then throws his flower pot downwards with an initial velocity of 15 m/s[d] in an attempt to knock Trump's flower pot during the descent. Is Trudeau successful? If yes, when (how long) and where do the flowerpots meet relative to the ground?
