16 feet/second is the speed. To know the velocity, you would also need to specify the direction in which the object moves.

What is the velocity of a ball thrown upward at 16 feet per second?

About 11 miles per hour.


A ball is thrown upward at an initial velocity of 70 feet per second from the top of a 345 foot building -- How long before the ball hits the ground below?

By the Way, guys, this is based on the equation H= -16t2+vt+s


The height h of a ball thrown into the air with an initial vertical velocity of 48 feet per second from a height of 5 feet above the ground is given by the equation?

At any time 't' seconds after the ball is released,until it hits the ground,h = 5 + 48 t - 16.1 t2


If a ball is thrown in the air what Speed that a ball hits the ground?

The answer depends on how high the ball is thrown and at what angle. If the ball is thrown on Earth, Earth's gravity has objects fall at an increasing rate of 32 feet per second per second. This means that an object will go 32 feet per second faster every second it is falling down in the air. So, the higher the ball is in the air, the faster it goes as it is about to hit the ground.


What is the velocity and acceleraion of a rock when it thrown up?

The acceleration is constant. 32.2 feet per second per second, directed down.The velocity is the sum of(the speed it had when you released it), directed UP,plus(32.2 feet per second) multiplied by (the number of seconds since you released it), directed DOWN.


What is the velocity of a ball in meters per second that drops from a roof and the speed was at 3.03 seconds?

If the ball was dropped from a roof and hit the ground 3.03 seconds later, then when it hit the groundits velocity was 29.694 meters (97.42 feet) per second (rounded) downward.


If a punter can kick a ball with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second how many seconds will it take the ball to reach 32 feet?

If you assume that the punter is in space, where there is no gravity nor air resistance, it will take 2/3 second.


Is feet per second the same thing as velocity?

Feet per second is a unit of velocity, but not necessarily the same thing. Velocity could be in meters per hour or feet per second could be a measure of speed, which does not take direction into account, as velocity does.


What does Calculus means?

In a nutshell, calculus is the mathematical study of change. Algebra covers mainly linear applications like velocity = distance divided by time. Calculus is used to find the instantaneous velocity of a ball thrown 6 feet in the air as it is falling, paused in time at 4 feet up (the velocity is getting faster as the ball comes down, so you need calculus equations and techniques to figure this out).


How does the acceleration of a ball thrown upward compare to a ball thrown downward?

I is a straight line originating from a certain y=intercept and then intercept x-axis and ends on the same initial value of velocity but this time it is negative. When the ball leaves your hand (that is when you throw it up) it already has some velocity, this is where the line intercepts y-axis at whatever the value of velocity is. As it goes up till its height the velocity is zero here it cuts the x-axis at whatever time the ball is at it's peak. Then when the ball comes down the velocity is opposite to the previous one thus it will be negative bow and moves down the x-axis and ends where the initial till the initial value of velocity because of law of conservation of energy.


What is the velocity of a helicopter traveling 6 feet per second?

Its speed is 6 feet per second. Its velocity is 6 feet per second in whatever direction it's going.


If a ball is dropped from a balloon that is 640 feet above the ground and rising at a rate of 48 feet per second find the time the ball is in the air and the speed of the ball when it hits the ground?

Let v be the velocity when the ball is at 640 feets going downwards v = 48 feet /sec let the velocity with which it reaches the ground be u then, u2=v2+2gh g = acc due t ogravity in feet/sq.sec h = 640 feet the time taken to reach the ground = time to return to 640ft + the time to fall from there Time taken to get to the ground is 8 seconds. Final velocity is 208 feet per second downwards
