(N/A) The physical quantity that measures the inertia of an object is its mass.

Suppose a ball of mass $m$ is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed $v$. Its speed decreases continuously until it becomes zero. Thereafter,the ball begins to fall downward and attains the speed $v$ again before striking the ground. It implies that the magnitude of the initial and final momentum of the ball are the same. Yet,it is not an example of the conservation of momentum. Explain why?
