Answer #1

When tha ball is thrown up, air resistance and gravity are applying force in the downward direction due to which the ball will reach the top faster but when the ball is falling down the force due to air resistance is opposing gravity the ball will take longer to travel the same distance back down


So the trip down will take longer
