Answer:
Both of them reach the lake at the same time.
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²
Vertical motion of James : -
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = g
Displacement, s = h
Substituting,
s = ut + 0.5 at²
h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²
Vertical motion of John : -
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = g
Displacement, s = h
Substituting,
s = ut + 0.5 at²
h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²
So both times are same.
Both of them reach the lake at the same time.
