$A$ ball of mass $m=1 \, kg$ is thrown from the top of a building with initial velocity $v=(20 \, m/s) \hat{i} + (24 \, m/s) \hat{j}$ at time $t=0$. The change in the potential energy of the ball between $t=0$ and $t=6 \, s$, if the ball does not hit the ground, is (assume $g=10 \, m/s^2$): (in $ \, J$)

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?
