A basketball is thrown vertically up from a 1.6‑m height with an
initial speed v0 = 23 m/s. At what speed will the ball
hit the ground?
The speed of the ball, v1 =
How long will it take for the ball to reach the ground?
The time of flight, t1 =
Now the basketball is thrown vertically down from the same 1.6‑m
height and with the same initial speed v0 = 23 m/s.
First, check your physical intuition and...
