ball is dropped from the top of a 70m tall building. You are about to catch it from the ground, what is the velocity of the ball, when it reaches your hand 2m from the ground? Do you think you catch it with this velocity, why or why Not? 2. Compare the maximum height reached by the two balls thrown from the ground in different directions. The first ball (Ball A) was thrown vertically upward straight to the air with a velocity of 2m/s. While the second was thrown sideways with an angle of 70o with initial velocity of 2m/s. Which ball will reach the higher altitude? Explain your answer.
