A ball thrown down. The thrown ball will have a greater initial velocity and since they experience the same force of gravity, it will always be faster (until they both reach terminal velocity).

If a ball is thrown in the air what Speed that a ball hits the ground?

The answer depends on how high the ball is thrown and at what angle. If the ball is thrown on Earth, Earth's gravity has objects fall at an increasing rate of 32 feet per second per second. This means that an object will go 32 feet per second faster every second it is falling down in the air. So, the higher the ball is in the air, the faster it goes as it is about to hit the ground.

Can a slowly thrown bowling ball hook better than a fast bowled ball depending on technique?

Yes, but one thing that you would have to take into consideration is how much the ball hooks in the last 12-20 feet of the lane, or the part of the lane that oil is not placed on. A slowly thrown ball that looks like it is hooking good for the first 40-45 feet will hook more once it gets to the section of the lane that doesn't have oil on it. A faster thrown ball does not have to worry about an extreme hook of the ball at the backend of the lane like a slower thrown ball does.
