A man is standing on top of a building $100m$ high. He throws two balls vertically, one at $t = 0$ and other after a time interval $($less than $2$ seconds$).$ The later ball is thrown at a velocity of half the first. The vertical gap between first and second ball is $+15m$ at $t = 2s$. The gap is found to remain constant. Calculate the velocity with which the balls were thrown and the exact time interval between their throw.

In a rotating body, $\text{a}=\alpha\text{r}$ and $\text{v}=\omega\text{r}.$ Thus $\frac{\text{a}}{\alpha}=\frac{\text{v}}{\omega}.$ Can a co you use the theorems of ratio and proportion studied in algebra so as to write $\frac{\text{a}+\alpha}{\text{a}-\alpha}=\frac{\text{v}+\omega}{\text{v}-\omega}$
