  1. A small stone is released from rest from a point \(A\) which is at height \(h\) metres above horizontal ground. Exactly one second later another small stone is projected with speed \(19.6 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) vertically downwards from a point \(B\), which is also at height \(h\) metres above the horizontal ground. The motion of each stone is modelled as that of a particle moving freely under gravity. The two stones hit the ground at the same time.
Find the value of \(h\).
