A ball is tossed vertically upward and caught at the position from which it was released.

• Ignoring air resistance will the ball at the instant it reaches its original position be traveling faster, slower, or at the same speed as it was when released?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

Same speed

• What, if anything, is different in your answer if air resistance is present? Give your best explanation.

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

If air resistance is present, the ball would be slower since the ball will not reach its original peak and thus not reach its full potential coming back down.
