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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
It will be traveling an equal but opposite velocity (same speed).
*
What, if anything, is different in your answer if air resistance is present? Give your best explanation.
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
I think it would be going slower since it wouldn't get to as high as it would have ideally before falling back down, and then it wouldn't have as much time for gravity to accelerate it to as high a speed.
