ANSWER:

9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

If an object is thrown vertically upward, its acceleration will always be the acceleration of gravity. This includes the highest point where its velocity is zero. This is due to the fact that at all times it is subjected to the attractive force of gravity.

That is, the acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2
