Explanation:

From the given figure,

Mass of ball A is 4.9 kg and its initial speed is 8 m/s.

Mass of ball B is 1.9 kg and its initial speed is 14 m/s.

Mass of ball C is 0.7 kg and its initial speed is 2 m/s.

We need to find the final speed of the balls 1 s after being thrown. They all are thrown upward under the action of gravity. The equation of motion is : v = u -gt, g = 10 m/s²

For ball A,

v = 8-10(1) = = -2 m/s (downward)

For B,

v = 14-10(1) = 4 m/s (upward)

For C,

v = 2-10(1) = -8 m/s (downward)

It means the ranking is B>A>C i.e. the speed of ball B is the most and that of C is least.

All the balls are moving under the action of gravity. It would mean that the acceleration for all balls is same i.e. 10 m/s²
