Problem

A ball is projected vertically upward with initial speed uu and experiences a constant resistive force FF in addition to gravity mgmg. During ascent, the downward acceleration is g+Fmg+\frac{F}{m}; during descent, the upward resistive force gives downward acceleration g−Fmg-\frac{F}{m}. For the same vertical displacement upward and downward, determine which interval is longer.
