Homework Statement

"A cat is climbing a vertical ladder from h=3m with the constant speed of v=4m/s. At the same time from the ground it's thrown in the air an object (small dimension) g=10m/s2. Find out the initial speed of the object knowing that it will meet with the cat a single time. (vo=?)

Homework Equations
