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.
The resistance would go down since you essentially have one less resistor
A ball falling through the air has a mass, a density, a volume...it is facing air resistance and is being acted on by gravity...it is accelerating and gaining velocity...and it is increasing in kinetic energy.
I suppose out of all those the biggest thing the ball has in this case is ENERGY. There are two main types to focus on...
Kinetic Energy - The further the ball fall the more KE it has...until terminal velocity is reach, then KE would become constant.
Potential Energy - Conversely to that of KE, the further the ball falls the less PE it will have.
<em>Heat/Thermal Energy is technically also present due to the friction from the air resistance, but the transfer of energy between the air and ball is quite complex and not necessary important for basic physics.

The question itself seem kind of vague and open ended, but I could just be viewing it the wrong way.
Comment if you need more help!
TRUE. When you approach a yield sign, while trying to enter or merge onto another road, traffic already on that road has the right of way.
