<em>Ten games</em> will be played.

The first team can be any one of 5 .  For each of those, the opponent can be any one of the other 4 .

Number of ways to pair them up = (5 x 4) = 20 ways .

<em>BUT</em> ... Whether the Reds play the Blues, or the Blues play the Reds, it's the SAME GAME.  Each possible game shows up twice in the list of 20 ways.  So there are really only 10 different pairs ==> <em>10 games</em> .

The student throws one cannonball directly upward at 5.0 m/s and simultaneously throws the other cannonball directly downward at
Mademuasel [1]
Let the cannonball be thrown at a height of h above ground.
Then  the potential energy of the ball is
V = m*g*h
where
m = the mass of the ball
g = 9.8 m/s²

Also, the kinetic energy of the ball is
K = (1/2)mu²
where
u = 5 m/s, the vertical launch velocity.
Ignore wind resistance.

Because the total energy is preserved, the total energy (n the form of only kinetic energy) when the ball strikes the ground is
(1/2)mV²
where V = vertical velocity when the ball strikes the ground.

Expressions for both the initial and final energy are equal regardless of whether the ball s thrown downward or upward.
Therefore there is no difference in the landing speed. 

Answer: There is no difference.

When you rub a balloon on a sweater, for example, some electrons come off and end up on the balloon. The fibers have lost electrons giving them a positive charge. The rubber gained electrons giving it a negative charge. ... The positively charged fibers are now attracted to the negatively charged balloon.
