Answer:

Velocity is same

Explanation:

Case I:

When the ball throws upwards

Let the velocity of the ball as it hits the ground is V'.

Initial velocity, u = V

Final velocity, v = V'

height = h

acceleration due to gravity = g

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

By substituting the values

V'^{2}=V^{2}+2(-g)(-h)

V'=\sqrt{V^{2}+2gh}      .... (1)

Case II:

When the ball throws downwards

Let the velocity of the ball as it hits the ground is V''.

Initial velocity, u = V

Final velocity, v = V''

height = h

acceleration due to gravity = g

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

By substituting the values

V''^{2}=V^{2}+2(-g)(-h)

V''=\sqrt{V^{2}+2gh}      .... (2)

By comparing the equation (1) and equation (2), we get

V' = V''

Thus, the velocity of balls in both the cases is same as they strikes the ground.

Answer:

They are the same (assuming there is no air friction)

Explanation:

Take a look at the picture.

When the first ball (the one thrown upward) gets to the point marked as A, the speed will has the exact same value V but the velocity will now point downward (just like the second ball).

So if you think about it, the first ball, from point A to the ground, will behave exactly like the second ball (same initial speed, same height).

That is why the speeds will be the same when they reach the ground.
