Two identical particles are projected horizontally in oppositedirections with a speed of 5 ms−1 each from the top of a talltower as shown. Assuming g = 10 ms−2, the distance betweenthem at the moment when their velocity vectors become mutuallyperpendicular is(A) 2.5 m (B) 5 m (C) 10 m (D) 20 m

Hello
v1=5i-gtj
v2=-5i-gtj
v1.v2=-25+(gt)^2=0
=>gt=5
=>t=0.5sec
get distance using kinematics formulae.
Thanks & Regards
