Does the acceleration changes direction after reaching the highest point?

No. The acceleration is a constant 9.8 m/s2 down the whole time because acceleration depends on the net force and the Earth did not change its pull.

An object thrown upward has zero acceleration at the highest point?
No, the acceleration at the highest point is never 0.
What hasa zero velocity yet a non-zero acceleration?
For example, an object thrown upwards, when it is at its highest point. This situation is only possible for an instant - if the acceleration is non-zero, the velocity changes, and can therefore not remain at zero.
Where is the speed of a simple harmonic oscillator equals to zero?
At the highest and lowest extremes of its travel, at the points where it changes its direction of motion.
What is the highest rate of acceleration of the space shuttle?
The shuttle carries passengers (pilots and other astronauts) and therefore its acceleration is kept around 3g so as not to cause undue stress to those on board.The shuttle reaches a speed of approx 17,500 mphin order to attain low earth orbit, it uses its solid fuel rocket booster to achieve this. The shuttles theoretical top speed is higher at around 22,000 mph.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time, as it is a vector it needs to be expressed in terms of magnitude and direction. Acceleration occurs when speed increases, when speed decreases and/or when the direction of motion changes. g is commonly used to as a measure of acceleration. The SI unit for acceleration is metres per second squared.
When is fuel consumption at its highest?
it is at its higher at acceleration
When is acceleration neg?
Acceleration is negative if velocity is decreasing with time. Since velocity is a vector this can occur in one of two ways: 1) you are slowing down in the direction of motion and the velocity in that direction is defined as positive (this is what we usually mean by negative acceleration) 2) you are speeding up in the direction of motion and the velocity in that direction is defined as negative. An example of this is an object launched into the air which immediately starts to decelerate in it's upward velocity, reaches it's highest velocity, and then begins accelerating towards the ground. If we call the velocity upward a positive velocity, then when it starts falling, it has negative velocity. Note that acceleration (due to gravity) is negative the whole time.
Can a particle with maximum speed have zero acceleration?
Yes. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction. An object going around in a circle moves at a constant speed, but the direction, and therefore the velocity, is changing.Yes.

What is the acceleration of a 4kg ball tossed vertically upward when the ball is at its highest point?
No matter what the mass of the ball is, or what direction you toss it, it has the same acceleration from the moment it leaves your hand until it hits the ground ... the acceleration due to gravity, on Earth or wherever you're playing the game, pointing down. On Earth, it's 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2.
What does the word culmination mean?
Culmination means reaching a highest point.
What are the release dates for Kenneth Copeland - 1985 Reaching for God's Highest and His Very Best?
Kenneth Copeland - 1985 Reaching for God's Highest and His Very Best was released on: USA: 6 October 2002
What is the acceleration at highest pointn when ball is thrown straight up?
The acceleration is the acceleration of gravity, downwards, or 9.8m/s/s (32 ft/s/s). When ball is thrown straight up it has an initial velocity that is decreasing because of gravity; at the highest point velocity is zero but acceleration is always constant at gravity rate.
What is the highest mountain in NZ called?
Aoraki / Mt. Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand reaching 12,316 ft.
