Question

If a ball is thrown straight up at +9 m/s. Draw a picture of the total trip, and label the initial and ending velocities on the picture. Also label the vf on the first half of the trip and give the measurement of that speed. Label the amount of acceleration on the way up (include sign), and on the way down.

Answer 1

The diagram for the upward acceleration and downward acceleration, as well as the initial velocity and final velocity of the ball is shown in the image attached.

How to draw the diagram of the total trip of the ball?

The diagram for the total trip of the ball will consist of the following;

the vertical velocity of the ball, which continues to change direction

the acceleration due to gravity, always pointing downwards

The total distance traveled by the ball vertically is known as the maximum height, while the total distance traveled by the ball horizontally is known as the range of the ball's motion.

Thus, the diagram for the upward acceleration and downward acceleration which is 9.8 m/s², as well as the initial velocity and final velocity of the ball is shown in the image attached.
