What do you think and why?
You might try imagining that you have a motion picture of the two masses leaving the ground at the same time and at the same speed and climbing to their peak heights - what would it look like if you played it backwards?
 
And also decide if you want to imagine a scenario where there is air or where there is only gravity. How do you think that would change things, if at all?
