Simultaneously , a ball is thrown upwards and another dropped from rest. Which one hits the ground moving faster?
-
The ball thrown upwards because during it's descent as it starts to fall back down it's velocity is increasing due to acceleration from gravity hence the greater the distance the greater velocity it will achieve before hitting the ground
I'm not confident with my anwser ; is it safe to say its velocity is increasing by 9.8 m s-1 every second?
Can someone please give me a detailed explanation on this?
