A projectile is launched vertically upward at 40 m/s. If air resistance is negligible, its speed upon returning to its starting point is

1) less than 40 m/s. 2) 40 m/s. 3) more than 40 m/s. All along the ball's trajectory, its acceleration is 4) g downward. 5) g at an angle. 6) zero. If air resistance does affect motion, then the ball's speed upon returning to its starting point is 7) less than 50 m/s. 8) 50 m/s. 9) more than 50 m/s.
