Two particles are simultaneously projected in the horizontal direction from a point P at a certain height. The initial velocities of the particles are oppositely directed to each other and have magnitude v each. The separation between the particles at a time when their position vectors (drawn from the point P) are mutually perpendicular, is:

A ball is projected from the ground at an angle of 45° with the horizontal surface. It reaches a maximum height of 120 m and returns to the ground. Upon hitting the ground for the first time, it loses half of its kinetic energy. Immediately after the bounce, the velocity of the ball makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal surface. The maximum height it reaches after the bounce (in meters) is _____________.
