OMG this is like a real-life Abbott and Costello routine.

Wrong again. If I throw a ball 30 metres forward and it reaches 6 metres high it will land after the same amount of time as a ball thrown directly up 6 metres.
it would take it longer to start to go down since it first moves foward.right?

No. The time it takes to rise and fall are the same. You obviously won't be able to answer this if you don't know that. I'll be nice, and change the problem slightly...

I throw a ball up in the air for 6 seconds. Solve for height, speed when first thrown, and velocity right before it lands. You have 6 minutes.

no i did not a person does not run at the same speed for every 10 yards distance he is slow in the start faster in the end i counted for that you didn't
