do tell me if the way i did this problem is right!

q::An object is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 30m/s.Four seconds later
a second object is projected vertically with a velocity of 40 m/s .determine i)time(after first object is thrown)when two objects will meet each other in air ii) height from Earth when two objects meet

my probable solution:consider first object time as t and second object time as t+4,
solve for t by equating their maximum height formula(s=ut+0.5gt^2) ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
But what makes you think the two objects will reach the same maximum height?
 
why do you think max.height is not the same,as you throw the first object at time t
and second ,time difference is t+4,or maybe iam wrong... please give me a solution then..
