Physics

11) When we solved problems dealing with objects in free-fall,we often exploited a symmetry that led to the conclusion that thetime it takes an object to go from a starting height to a maximumheight (where the vertical (y-direction) velocity is zero) is thesame as the time that it takes for the object to fall from thatmaximum height back to the starting height. If we introduce airresistance as a force similar to a friction force, does that changethe symmetry between the time to the top of the trajectory and thetime to fall down to the starting height? (note that air resistanceis a little more complicated than a constant force like friction,but that simplification won’t change our answer here if we speak ingeneral terms)
