It is known that horizontal component of velocity is same at any point in projectile motion. So the final speed can be compared by the vertical components of speed. Vertical component can be calculated by using the kinematic equations. In kinematic equations of motion, the motion of an object can be described with constant acceleration. Further it can be ranked according to the speed.

Formulae:

The final velocity can be written as

$v_{fy}^2=v_{0y}^2+\left(2×a×∆y\right)$

Rank a;

$$\begin{gathered} v_{fy}^2=v_{0y}^2+\left(2×-a×-∆y\right) \\ {v}_{fy}^2=v_{0y}^2+\left(2×a×∆y\right) \end{gathered}$$

So, final speed will be greater than initial speed.

Rank b;

$$\begin{gathered} v_{fy}^2=v_{0y}^2+\left(2×-a×0\right) \\ {v}_{fy}^2=v_{0y}^2 \end{gathered}$$

So, final speed will be same as initial speed.

Rank c;

$$\begin{gathered} v_{fy}^2=v_{0y}^2+\left(2×-a×∆y\right) \\ {v}_{fy}^2=v_{0y}^2-\left(2×a×∆y\right) \end{gathered}$$

So final speed will be less than initial speed.

Therefore, from these three results we can rank the final speed as:

Rank :$a>b>c$
