A person standing at the edge of a cliff throws one ball straight up and another ball straight down at the same initial speed. Neglecting air resistance, the ball to hit the ground below the cliff with the greater speed is the one initially thrown

1. Upward

2.Downward

3.Neither—they both hit at the same speed

I know the answer is 3. But I dont know how to prove it. Plz help with it.

Two identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 30 m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upward with the pellet eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun b is fired straight downward. Ignore air resistance. Assume g=10 m/s/s. A. How long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit. B. If the pellet hits the ground with an impact speed of 60 m/s,...

A man throws a ball straight upward with speed 30 m/s from the top of a building that is 75 m high. Ignore air resistance and choose the vertical y-axis to be positive downward with origin at the point of throw (top of the building). Represent the initial velocity and the acceleration vectors in the reference y-axis above. Find the maximum height the ball reaches with respect to the ground. How long does it take the ball to reach the...
