Does it take the same amount of time for an object to go up and down?

Both the mass of the object and the mass of the earth are the same respectively at the time when the object goes up and when the object comes back down. The gravitational force between them is equal as well. The time to go up and the time to come down would be equal as well.

Why did the ball take the same time to travel up and come down?

1) Time played forward : gravity & drag forces are in opposite directions so it takes a longer time to reach the ground. 2) Time played backward : gravity & drag forces are in the same direction so it takes a shorter time to reach the ground.

What will be the effect on maximum height of a projectile?

The maximum height of the projectile is when the projectile reaches zero vertical velocity. From this point the vertical component of the velocity vector will point downwards. The horizontal displacement of the projectile is called the range of the projectile and depends on the initial velocity of the object.

How do you find the time it takes an object to fall?

Divide the falling distance by 16. For example, if the object will fall 128 feet, divide 128 by 16 to get 8. Calculate the square root of the Step 2 result to find the time it takes the object to fall in seconds.

What determines how long it takes for an object to fall?

How will the maximum height of a projectile vary when its angle of projection is changed from 300 to 600 keeping the same initial velocity of projection?

What will be the effect on maximum height of a projectile when its angle of projection is changed from 30^(@) to 60^(@), without changing its initial velocity of projection? Thus the maximum height reached becomes three time the original height of projectile.

How does the initial velocity affect the maximum height of a projectile?

The maximum height is determined by the initial vertical velocity. Since steeper launch angles have a larger vertical velocity component, increasing the launch angle increases the maximum height.
