The acceleration due to gravity is more at the poles than at the equator. The time taken for a body is less if the acceleration due to gravity is more when the initial velocities and the distance travelled are the same So, when dropped from the same height a body reaches the ground quicker at the poles than at the equator.

Observe the graph and answer the following questions. Assume that g = 10 m/s2 and that there is no air resistance. (a) In which direction is the ball moving at point C? (b) At which point is the ball stationary? (c) At which point is the ball at its maximum height? (d) what is the ball’s acceleration at point C? (e) What is the ball’s acceleration at point A? (f) What is the ball’s acceleration at point B? (g) At which point does the ball have the same speed as when it was thrown?
