    1.4 times as high

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Now here we have to compare the both final velocities by using the formula independent of time. As we know,

    2aS = V (f) 2 - V (i) 2

    Both balls are dropped from certain height, so V (i) = 0 m/s for both balls

    So, 2aS = V (f) 2 for both balls.

    Now if we compare both velocities

    Equation for first ball

    2aS (1) = V (1) 2

    Equation for second ball

    2aS (2) = V (2) 2

    Comparing both equations

    2aS (1) / 2aS (2) = V (1) 2/V (2) 2

    as we now S (1) = 5m and S (2) = 10m, also acceleration a = g, because acceleration due to gravity is acting on the balls. So,

    2 (9.8) x 5/2 (9.8) x 10 = V (1) 2/V (2) 2

    after simplifying,

    1/2 = V (1) 2/V (2) 2

    V (2) ^2 = 2V (1) ^2

    By taking square root on both sides,

    V (2) = 1.4V (1)
