THE GREEN HOSE:
Define the (x,y) coordinate at a height of 4 feet up from the ground to match where Majra is holding the green hose.
This means that the equation for the green hose is of the form
y = a(x - h)² + 4 (1)
Because water from the green hose lands on the ground 10 feet from where Majra is standing, therefore
y(10) = -4 (2)
Because the curve passes through (0,0), therefore
ah² + 4 = 0
ah² = - 4 (3)
To satisfy (2), obtain
a(10 - h)² + 4 = -4
a(10 - h)² = - 8 (4)
Divide (3) by (4).
h²/(10-h)² = 1/2
2h² = (10 - h)² = 100 - 20h + h²
h² + 20h - 100 = 0
Solve with the quadratic formula.
x = 0.5[-20 +/- √(8400)] = 4.142, - 24.142
Reject the negative solution.
The vertex is at (4.142, 4).
From (3), obtain
a = -4/4.142² = -0.2332
The equation for the green hose is
y = 0.2332(x - 4.142)² + 4
THE RED HOSE
The red hose has a vertex at (3,7), according to the equation y = -(x-3)² + 7.
A graph of y(x) for both hoses is shown in the attached figure.
Answers:
a. The red hose will throw the water higher.
b. The equation for the green hose is
y = -0.2332(x - 4.124)² + 4,
with the origin at a height of 4 feet above ground level.
c. The domain for the green hose that makes sense is 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 feet.
The corresponding range is -4 ≤ y ≤ 4 feet.

Hypothesis
Let there is no air drag or any other resistance force due to surrounding
Now the force equation of ball is given as
so the ball will be dropped down by acceleration a = g and this acceleration is independent of size and mass of the ball
So in this case both balls will be dropped by same acceleration.
So here both balls will hit the ground at same time
