All baseballs in freefall. You have a baseball and magically today there is no air resistance. You toss your baseball straight upwards with the speed of 30 m/s. The baseball climbs to the maximum height, it's maximum altitude, turned around, and falls back down. Since you are standing above the ground, the release point of the baseball is already a meter or so off the ground. Use the release point of the ball as the zero height reference. For this exercise, assume the gravity has a downward acceleration of 10 m/s/s.

When the baseball reaches the release point on the way down, what is the distance traveled on the way down?

The distance the baseball travels up in the distance it travels back down to the release point have a simple interrelationship. What is that relationship?

What can you say about the two triangular areas between the V - VS - T line and the T- axis for the upward and downward parts of the baseball's travel?

But what about the speed the baseball was tossed upward with, and the speed the baseball has passing the release point moving downward?

 How are those two speeds related? Reason and Explain. What if "speed" became "velocity"?
