Two balls are thrown horizontally from the top of a tower with velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ in opposite directions at the same time. After how much time will the angle between the velocities of the balls become $90^o$?

Two particles in the same vertical plane are thrown to strike at the same time. One is thrown from the ground and the other from a height $h$ vertically above it. The ground particle is thrown obliquely with speed $u$ at an angle $\theta$ and achieves a maximum height $H$. The second particle is thrown horizontally with the same speed $u$. What is the maximum height $h$ such that the two particles strike each other in the air?

Two balls of mass $M$ and $2M$ are thrown horizontally with the same initial velocity $v_{0}$ from the top of a tall tower and experience a drag force of $-kv$ $(k > 0)$,where $v$ is the instantaneous velocity. Then,

Two objects are located at a height of $10 \ m$ above the ground. At some point in time, the objects are thrown with an initial velocity of $2 \sqrt{2} \ m \ s^{-1}$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ and $135^{\circ}$ with the positive $X$-axis, respectively. Assuming $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$, the velocity vectors will be perpendicular to each other at a time equal to: (in $s$)
