V1=26.34m/s

V2=29.2m/s

I have assumed that by V1 and V2 you mean the final velocity of the ball in each case.

We can use this equation of motion:

v2=u2+2as

v= final velocity

u= initial velocity

a= acceleration which in this case I will assume to be equal to the acceleration due to gravity which is given by g=9.8m/s/s.

s= displacement (how far the ball drops).

In the first case:

V21=0+(2×9.8×35.4)=693.84

V1=693.84=26.34m/s

In the second case the initial velocity u=12.6m/s

So:

V22=(12.6)2+(2×9.8×35.4)=852.76

V2=852.76

V2=29.2m/s
