5 A particle is projected vertically upwards from a point \(O\) with a speed of \(12 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). Two seconds later a second particle is projected vertically upwards from \(O\) with a speed of \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). At time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) after the second particle is projected, the two particles collide.
  1. Find \(t\).

  2. Hence find the height above \(O\) at which the particles collide.
