A ball is thrown straight up into the air. When it reaches the top of its flight, the acceleration of the ball is



a. Downward at 9.8 m/s/s

b. Zero

c. Upward at 9.8 m/s/s

d. Downward at some value between 9.8 m/s/s and Zero

e. Upward at some value between 9.8 m/s/s and Zero

once the ball is in flight (and ignoring friction), its acceleration is always 9.8m/s/s downward; this will be the accel while it is rising, falling, and when it is at max height

b. Zero

b. Zero
