$A$ person throws balls into the air vertically upward at regular intervals of time of $1 \,s$. The next ball is thrown when the velocity of the ball thrown earlier becomes zero. The height to which the balls rise is (Assume $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,m$)

Ball-$1$ is dropped from the top of a building from rest. At the same moment, ball-$2$ is thrown upward towards ball-$1$ with a speed $14 \,m/s$ from a point $21 \,m$ below the top of the building. How far will ball-$1$ have dropped when it passes ball-$2$? (Assume acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,m/s^2$.)

$A$ boy standing on a stationary lift (open from above) throws a ball upwards with the maximum initial speed he can,equal to $49\; m s^{-1}$. How much time does the ball take to return to his hands? If the lift starts moving up with a uniform speed of $5\; m s^{-1}$ and the boy again throws the ball up with the maximum speed he can,how long does the ball take to return to his hands?
