Applying principles of dynamics (written detailed solutions please :( ) A game requires that two children throw a ball upward as high as possible at the same point and then to run horizontally in opposite directions. The child who travels the greater distance before their thrown ball impacts the ground winds. One child throws the ball at his arm’s height of 4.5 ft at a speed of 69 ft/sec and runs leftward at a speed of 16 ft/sec. The other child does the same but was able to throw better releasing his ball at a heigh of 6 ft at a speed of 71 ft/sec then runs rightward at a speed of 17 ft/sec. Which child wins the game?
