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.

what can you say about the motion of an object if its speed time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis ? Also draw
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

It says about the motion and the graph of the object is stationary, basically travelling at the same speed at any time of the graph. It will never change.

Explanation:

To draw a diagram:

1. Draw an object and represent the speed as stationary and constant at any time.

What is the definition of the half-life of a radioactive isotope?
Illusion [34]

Answer:Half-life is the amount of time it takes for the initial mass of the isotope to decompose, by half, into other lighter atoms.

Explanation:Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives. For example, the element technetium-99m has a half life of 6 hours. This means that is 100 kg of the element is left to decay, in 6 hours, 50kg of the mass will have changed into other elements/atoms. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years while that of polonium-216 is only 0.145 seconds.
