A rock from a volcanic eruption is launched straight up into the air with no air resistance.
Which one of the following statements about the rock while it is in the air is correct? *
(0.5 Points)
On the way up, its acceleration is downward and its velocity is upward. At the highest point both its velocity
and acceleration are zero.
On the way down, both its velocity and acceleration are downward. At the highest point both its velocity and
acceleration are zero.
The acceleration is downward all points in the motion, except that the acceleration is zero at the highest
point.
The acceleration is downward at all points in the motion
Throughout the motion, the acceleration is downward, and the velocity is always in the same direction as the
acceleration
