34. A ball is thrown straight up and falls back down and is caught. Make a careful graph of velocity vs. time that shows the ball rising and falling and that illustrates the effect of air resistance. With zero air resistance (and only then), the time rising and the time falling are equal and the speed at which it is caught is equal to the speed at which it was thrown. But, when air resistance is significant, which time is greater, rising or falling? and which speed is greater, throwing or catching? Refer to your graph to help explain your answer.
