If you threw a baseball straight up in the air and caught it when was the baseball going the fastest?
Updated: 10/23/2022
The ball is traveling the fastest the moment it leaves your hand.
When the ball reaches its apex - the highest point - it is going zero MPH. It then relies solely on gravity to come back down, as it has no other energy forces to bring it down.
Throwing the ball up requires more force so the ball can combat gravity. More force equals more speed equals more height.
