Should it not be 1: 1 since both practically mean the same?

If the ball were thrown from the ground or even landed at an equal height (40m here), then yes, the time would be a 1:1 ratio of flight to fall.

But the ball is thrown from a height of 40m, so it will take longer to hit the ground.

For example, while it may take, say, 3 seconds to go up to its max height and 3 seconds to reach it's original height again, it may take 4 more seconds to finally reach the ground.

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.
