The initial velocity of a dropped ball is zero in the y (up-down) direction. After it is dropped gravity causes an acceleration, which causes the velocity to increase. F = ma, The acceleration due to gravity creates a force on the mass of the ball.
The height from which an object is dropped does not affect its average velocity. Average velocity depends on the overall displacement and time taken to achieve that displacement, regardless of the initial height of the object.
The final velocity of a dropped object can be calculated using the equation v = gt, where v is the final velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2), and t is the time the object has fallen. Plugging in the values, the final velocity of a dropped object after falling for 3.0 seconds would be 29.43 m/s.

The velocity-time graph for a body dropped from a certain height would show an initial spike in velocity as the object accelerates due to gravity, reaching a maximum velocity when air resistance equals the force of gravity. After this, the velocity would remain constant, representing free fall with a terminal velocity. When the object hits the ground, the velocity suddenly drops to zero.
If you simply release an object, the initial velocity is always zero.
Fired ammunition from a firearm reaches a much higher initial velocity due to explosive propellant forces. In contrast, ammunition dropped from a high altitude reaches a terminal velocity where gravity pulling down is balanced by air resistance pushing up. The fired bullet maintains its higher velocity until slowed by air resistance and gravity, while dropped ammunition reaches a constant speed due to these opposing forces.
This is an old experiment. Neither. Both balls have the same velocity as gravity draws on them equally.
In the case of an object thrown, batted, teed off, or dropped, its acceleration at the instant of its maximum velocity is 9.8 meters per second2 downward.
The velocity of a freely falling object 5 seconds after being dropped is approximately 49 meters per second (m/s) downwards. This is the velocity an object reaches due to the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2) acting on it.
Ignoring any effects due to air resistance, the speed of the stone is zero at the instant it's dropped, and increases steadily to 78.98 meters per second when it hits the ground. The velocity is directed downward throughout the experiment.
It will have both horizontal and vertical velocity...think about it, if you were said bird flying through the sky at say 35 mph, and you dropped a rock then the rock would fall, but it would still be moving forward and it would fall the same way a baseball falls after it reaches the top of the throw.
