Two particles move in a uniform gravitational field with an acceleration g. At the initial moment the particles were located at one point and moved with velocities 3 m/s and 4 m/s horizontally in opposite directions. Find the distance between the particles at the moment when their velocity vectors become mutually perpendicular.

or 
Now in vertical direction they have no relative motion and in horizontal direction their velocities are opposite.
