Question

question 19 (1 point)
suppose a ball is thrown straight up, reaches a maximum height, then falls to its initial height. make a statement about the direction of the velocity and acceleration as the ball is going up.
both its velocity and its acceleration point upward.
its velocity points upward and its acceleration points downward.
its velocity points downward and its acceleration points upward.
both its velocity and its acceleration points downward.

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown straight up, its velocity is in the upward direction as it moves against gravity. The acceleration due to gravity acts downward throughout the motion (neglecting air resistance). So, velocity is upward and acceleration is downward.

Answer:

Its velocity points upward and its acceleration points downward.
