Question text

A ball of relatively low density is thrown upwards. Because of air resistance the acceleration while
traveling upwards is −10.8 m/s2. On its trip downward the resistance is in the opposite direction, and the
resulting acceleration is −8.8 m/s2. When the ball reaches the level from which it was thrown, how does
its speed compare to that with which it was thrown?

Select one:

[Control]a. It is greater than the original speed upward.

[Control]b. It is the same as the original speed upward.

[Control]c. It is less than the original speed upward.

Correct
