A ball is thrown

1. A ball is thrown downward from a 40 m high building with a speed of 10 m/s. What is the vertical component of the velocity when it hits the ground? (Use gravity g = 10 m/s²)

2. A ball is thrown downward from a 40 m high building with a speed of 10 m/s. What is the horizontal component of the velocity when it hits the ground? (Use gravity g = 10 m/s²)

3. A ball is thrown downward from a 40 m high building with a speed of 10 m/s. What is the speed of the ball when it hits the ground? (Use gravity g = 10 m/s²)
