The speed of the ball is greatest when it is thrown upward and decreases as it reaches the peak of its trajectory. The speed continues to decrease as the ball falls back down due to the force of gravity pulling it towards the ground.
If it is thrown at an angle, at the top of its path, its vertical velocity will be zero, however its horizontal velocity will be the same as its initial horizontal velocity minus whatever loss in speed as a result of air friction at that point. We won't know what that is without more information.
The instantaneous speed of an object at its highest point when thrown straight up in the air is zero. At the highest point, the object has momentarily stopped moving upwards and is just about to start falling back down due to gravity.
The speed of a ball thrown upward upon striking the ground will be the same as the speed at which it was thrown, but in the opposite direction. The speed of a ball thrown downward upon striking the ground will be faster than the speed at which it was thrown due to the acceleration from gravity.
Slower than the initial speed it was thrown upward with due to air resistance causing the ball to lose speed as it travels through the air. The force of air resistance acts against the direction of motion and slows down the ball.
The ball thrown straight down from a bridge will experience an acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, this acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 and acts in the downward direction. The acceleration will cause the ball to increase in speed as it falls towards the ground.

When an object is thrown in space, it will continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by another force. This is due to the absence of air resistance and gravity in space.
Its initial speed cannot be 20 m, as stated in the question. Secondly, if the initial speed is correctly given, then there is no need to calculate it!
If thrown horizontal from same height the faster object will travel farther horizontally, but time to fall is the same. If thrown straight up, the faster object will take longer to fall
speed
No. The one with higher initial speed will hit the ground first if they are both thrown straight down.
To find the speed at which the object was thrown upward, we need to know the acceleration due to gravity. Assuming g ≈ 9.81 m/s², the initial speed of the object can be calculated using the equation v = u - gt, where v is the final speed (0 m/s when it returns), u is the initial speed, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time (6 seconds). This calculation will give you the initial speed at which the object was thrown upward.
an object thrown into the air will slow down as it ascends higher into the air until it stops ascending and the speed of the object increases as it falls until it reaches its terminal velocity in air. As an object passes through air, it encounters air resistance which slows down an object moving freely through air. An object will be moving at a slower speed when it hits the ground than it did when it was thrown into the air due to this air resistance.
