Question

a ball is thrown vertically upwards. what is the direction of acceleration during upward motion? what is the velocity at the highest point of its motion?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be -

The direction of the acceleration will be downward

The velocity at the highest point will be 0.

Explanation:

The direction of the acceleration -

• When a body is thrown vertically upward only acceleration is g which always acts downward.

Velocity at the highest point -

• At the highest point, the potential energy is highest and kinetic energy is zero.
• So that's why the velocity of the object will be 0 at the highest point.
