Solve the all parts of following question given below:

Question: Two children in a tree house 6.5 m above the ground are playing with snowballs. One throws snowball A horizontally at 14 m/s. At the exact same moment, the other child throws snowball B directly down at the ground also with a speed of 14 m/s.

Part A: Once thrown, how does the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of each snowball compare? Is snowball A's magnitude of acceleration greater or less than snowball B's? Explain.

Part B: Find the velocity of each snowball 0.25s after they are thrown?

Part C: Find the velocity of each snowball the moment they strike the ground?

Part D: Compare the speeds of each snowball as they hit the ground. Is snowball A moving faster or slower than snowball B? Wxplain how this is possible (hint: think about the time each snowball is in the air and accelerating).

Please show all work and explain your methods for solve the above question.
