Question

a ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 5m/s what will be its speed when it returns to starting point​

Answer 1

$\boxed{ \bold{ \sf \: 5 \: m/s}}$

ignoring frictional air resistance (drag) the speed on return is the same as when it left the ground (5 m/s but in the opposite direction).

Note: this points out a good reason for not firing live bullets into the air..they will return somewhere and at the same speed.

However, if you take into account the atmospheric drag the reurn speed will be somewhat smaller (but in the case of a bullet, probably still lethal.) Drag depends on many factors and is difficult to calculate.

Answer 2

Answer:

5 m/s

Explanation:

the velocity at a point remains same in upward or downward jouney
