Answer:the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a ball is tossed vertically upwards, it reaches its maximum point. This maximum point is known as the maximum height of the ball. At this maximum height, its velocity is zero, its acceleration is directed downwards and the force of gravity acting in the ball is directed downwards towards the earth.
