Question

You throw a ball straight up, it peaks out, and then cones back down to you. During this motion, the velocity and acceleration

a) always point in the same direction
b) always point in opposite direction
c) sometimes point in the same direction, and other times point in opposite to each other.
d) depends on the way the ball is thrown
e) depends in the mass of the ball

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C sometimes point in the same direction, and other times point in opposite to each other.

Explanation:

When you throw a ball straight up velocity direction head up to up side but the acceleration points opposite direction due to gravitation of earth. Gr aviation slows down the ball when it goes up, when it reaches the summit and starts to fall down both velocity and acceleration points the same way. The ball speeds up and drops down.
