A ball of relatively low density is thrown upwards. Because of air resistance the acceleration while traveling upwards is −10.8 m/s2. On its trip downward the resistance is in the opposite direction, and the resulting acceleration is −8.8 m/s2. When the ball reaches the level from which it was thrown, how does its speed compare to that with which it was thrown?
