Question

A ball is thrown up in the air, it reaches its maximum height and falls back. It’s acceleration is:A - same up and down but zero at the topB- less on the way up than on the way downC- the same ally all points of motionD- less on the way down than on the way up

Answer 1

When the ball is thrown up in the air, it is called a Freefall motion.

In freefall motion, the acceleration remains constant at all times because the acceleration due to gravity is always constant.

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2

The ball has zero velocity (not acceleration) at the maximum height.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C

"Its acceleration is the same at all points of motion".
