Mary and Debra stand on a snow-covered roof. They both throw snowballs with the same initial speed, but in different directions. Mary throws her snowball downward, at 30° below the horizontal; Debra throws her snowball upward, at 30°. Neglect air friction. When the snowballs reach the ground below, O Mary's snowball never hits the ground since it is thrown downwards. O Debra's snowball never hits the ground since it is thrown upwards. O Mary's snowball will have a higher speed than Debra's. O Both snowballs will hit the ground with the same speed. O Debra's snowball will have a higher speed than Mary's.
