Answer:
The final vertical velocity is greater than the initial vertical velocity
Explanation:
Horizontal Motion
When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed vox from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled by gravity.
The resultant motion is the composition of the vertical motion and the horizontal motion.
The speed in the horizontal direction is always constant:
vx=vox
The speed in the vertical direction starts from zero and gradually increases in time:
vy=g.t
When the object was just launched, t=0, and its vertical velocity is 0
After some time has passed, the object is about to hit the ground, and its vertical velocity is greater than zero, thus:
The final vertical velocity is greater than the initial vertical velocity
