Best Answer

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.

A ball tossed vertically upward rises reaches its highest point and then falls back to its starting point during this time the acceleration is always?

Pointed towards the ground

An object thrown upward has zero acceleration at the highest point?

No, the acceleration at the highest point is never 0.


If air resistance can be neglected how does the acceleration of a ball that has been tossed straight upward compare with its acceleration if simply dropped?

The acceleration is the same, which is the acceleration due to gravity. About 10m/s^2


Can an object have velocity and acceleration vectors that point in opposite directions?

Yes it can, and it's really easy. -- A stone tossed upward, before it peaks and starts falling, has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car driving east and slowing for a stop-sign has eastward velocity and westward acceleration.


Is the acceleration due to gravity always pointing vertically downward even for an object whose velocity is vertically upward?

Acceleration only depends on the direction of the applied force and is independent of the velocity of the object, so gravity is always pointing down.


Can the velocity of an object be negitive when its acceleration is positive?

That just means that the velocity and acceleration are in oppposite directions ... exactly the situation when a car is slowing down for a stop, or a ball is tossed upward and hasn't reached the peak yet.


In throwing a ball upward discuss the velocity and acceleration when the ball returns to the thrower's hand?

A the moment when the ball just touches the thrower's hand, it will have the velocity with which it was thrown and the acceleration will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity at the place acting vertically downwards.


Is it possible for a body to have its velocity and acceleration pointing in opposite directions?

Sure. Anything that's slowing down has velocity and acceleration in opposite directions. -- A ball tossed up in the air has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car stopping for a red light has forward velocity and backward acceleration.

What is the acceleration of an object moving upward?

On earth, the vertical acceleration of any object that's free to move vertically,and has no artificial force imposed on it, is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2,directed downward. The source of the acceleration is the mutual gravitationalattraction between the object and the earth.


What does vertically upwards mean?

Vertical means straight up and down,aligned with the direction of gravity. Vertically upward means vertical in the up direction. So if you jump directly straight up that is vertically upward; when you land you are travelling vertically downward.
