Ball A is dropped from rest from height . Ball B is thrown <strong>downward</strong> from the same height with initial speed . Both fall in vacuum. Which reaches the ground first?
Cannot be determined without .
B
They tie.
A
Explanation
B starts with extra downward speed and accelerates at the same , so it always covers any given vertical distance in less time.
