A ball is thrown straight up. What is the velocity and acceleration at the top
Answers
Answer: This may help you
Explanation:
When the ball is at its peak possible position, it's velocity remains Zero. Unfortunately, this moment of zero velocity is hardly visible, since it occurs in a very very short amount of time.
Now if you ask about the acceleration at the peak possible position, it turns out to be very interesting. The acceleration remains 9.81 ms^-2. In fact it is one of the very rare situations where the body is accelerated, still there is an absolute zero velocity.
Acceleration due to gravity takes place every moment in earth whether you are throwing yourself up or else just diving into the pool. It is also indeed true that acceleration causes a change in velocity. But it happens that the change from a negative vector of velocity to positive one undergoes a period when the object/body literally has a Zero velocity for a very very short amount of time.
