Ignoring air resistance, for a ball thrown vertically upward, the time of ascent compared with the time of descent is:
Unit-2 Kinematics
A ascent takes twice as long
B time of ascent is longer
C time of descent is longer
D both times are equal
Explanation

Motion up and down is symmetric under gravity, so both times are equal.
