There are two best friends named Kaela and Georgie. Kaela is on top of the first storey building and is supposed to jump on the trampoline. Georgie is on the trampoline and is waiting for Kaela to jump. Georgie began to ascend from the trampoline at the same moment that Kaela began to gain speed. If Georgie's velocity while ascending the trampoline was the same as Kaela's velocity when he touched the trampoline. Assuming that the length of the 1 storey is about 3.378 and the gravity is 9.813.   Figure out the following:   1.) How long do you think it would take for them to meet? 2.) How far would Kaela and Georgie have to walk to meet at the top of the building?

Question
There are two best friends named Kaela and Georgie. Kaela is on top of the first storey building and is supposed to jump on the trampoline. Georgie is on the trampoline and is waiting for Kaela to jump. Georgie began to ascend from the trampoline at the same moment that Kaela began to gain speed. If Georgie's velocity while ascending the trampoline was the same as Kaela's velocity when he touched the trampoline. Assuming that the length of the 1 storey is about 3.378 and the gravity is 9.813.
 
Figure out the following:
 
1.) How long do you think it would take for them to meet?
2.) How far would Kaela and Georgie have to walk to meet at the top of the building?
3.) At the moment where they met, how fast was Georgie going?
