A diagram showing the initial positions and launch directions of Ball 1 and Ball 2.
A diagram showing the initial positions and launch directions of Ball 1 and Ball 2.
Ball 1 is released from rest from a balcony at a height \(H\) above the ground. At the same instant, Ball 2 is launched vertically upward from the ground with an initial speed \(v_0\). The balls pass each other at a height of \(H/4\) above the ground. Neglecting air resistance, which of the following is a correct expression for the initial speed \(v_0\) in terms of \(H\) and the acceleration due to gravity \(g\)?
