Q1Kinematics of Motion in a Straight LineFree sample

A particle PP is projected vertically upwards with speed 11 m s111\text{ m s}^{-1} from a point on horizontal ground. At the same instant a particle QQ is released from rest at a point h mh\text{ m} above the ground. PP and QQ hit the ground at the same instant, when QQ has speed V m s1V\text{ m s}^{-1}.

(i)

Find the time after projection at which PP hits the ground.
