Two tennis balls are dropped from rest from a high bridge.
The ball on the right is dropped some seconds after the first ball.
You can change the time delay from
0 to 2.5 s (enter the time delay
in the text box below and click "(re)start".
- Once the second ball is released, does the distance between the balls increase, decrease, or stay the same? What is the distance between the balls 5 seconds after dropping the first ball?
- How many seconds after the first ball will the second ball hit the ground?
Prove your intuitions!!
