Ball #3 is dropped with no intial velocity at the same time. Ignore air resistance. Regarding the velocity of the balls just prior to striking the ground.
(a) velocity of ball #1 is less then that of ball #2, but greater then ball #3
(b) velocity of ball #1 is the same as ball #2, both are greater then ball #3
(c) velocity of ball #1 is the same as ball #3, both are greater then ball #2
(d) velocity of ball #1 is greater then that of ball #2 and ball #3
