Question

Suppose I am in ISS and I throw a ball upwards, Will it go up with the same speed as I have thrown it or will it go very slowly? I have seen in movies that when people throw things, they move very slowly like a slo-mo......

Answer 1

`"The ball will go slower and slower until it has no vertical"` `"velocity anymore. That is when it reaches its highest point."`
`"Then the ball will start to fall and the ball will go faster."`

Explanation:

`"The speed is given by : "`
`v = sqrt(2*g*h)`
`"with"`
`v = "velocity in "m/s`
`g = "gravity constant = "9.81 m/s^2`
`h = "height in m (meter)"`
`"This is the law of fall of Torricelli."`
`"When the ball drops again, it will have the same speed as"`
`"it had when rising on a certain height, so it is perfectly"`
`"symmetric."`

Answer 2

It will continue to move at the velocity it had when you released it.

Explanation:

People in the ISS should be advised to toss things at a low speed.

I hope this helps,
