Which remains in the air longer a ball thrown upward or a ball thrown horizontally at the same speed?

Well, the ball thrown upward is obviously in the air longer before it hits the ground.
It goes up for a while, before its upward speed drops to zero and it starts falling, so
it effectively begins its drop from a higher altitude than a ball that you drop from
your hand or throw horizontally.
I think what you're really wanting to ask is: Which hits the ground first ... a ball thrown
horizontally or a ball just dropped from your hand ? The answer to THAT one is: If you
ignore air resistance, then they both hit the ground at the same time.
For that matter . . . if you ignore air resistance, then it doesn't even matter if one of them
is a Bowling ball and the other one is a ping pong ball or a feather. They still both hit the
ground at the same time !
Weird, no ?

A ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building What is the vertical component of its initial velocity?
If a ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building, the vertical component of its initial velocity is zero.
A ball is thrown upward and caught when it comes back down In the presence of air resistance the speed with which it is caught is?
less than the speed it had when thrown upward.
When a body is thrown upwardhow many forces act on it?
when abody is thrown upward,how many forces act on it?what is the role of the force with which the body has been thrown upward? After a body is thrown upwards, you have gravity pulling it down and friction slowing it.
A stone is thrown straight upward and it rises to a height of 20 meters With what speed was it thrown?
6.261 m/s
What happened to the ball when you thrown upward?
It comes back downward! :) enjoi!
What object exhibit two dimensional?
An object thrown upward at an angle An object that's thrown horizontally off a cliff and allowed to fall

If a ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building, the vertical component of its initial velocity is zero.
What objects exhibit two dimensional motion?
Two vectors that do not lie along the same line. I wish someone would have posted this for me. ^_^

ALOT!!

What is the acceleration of a ball at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward?
zero
What is tje velocity of a ball thrown upward at 16 ft/sec?
If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 160 ft/s, then its height after t seconds is s = 160t - 16t^2. If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 160 ft/s, then its height after t seconds is s = 160t − 16t^2.
When body is thrown in upward direction then what will happen about kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy will be decrease because when the body thrown in upward direction the gravitation force will be act in opposite direction which reduce the velocity.so the velocity will decrease.
