When an object is thrown straight up into the air what is its acceleration when it is moving upward?

The acceleration at the top of the path will be the same as the acceleration at the moment the ball leaves the hand and all the way until the moment it hits the ground (or hand). Ignoring air resistance, the only force acting on the ball is gravity. so the acceleration is 'g' or approximately 9.81m/squared seconds in my part of the world. g depends on how close the ball is to the center of the earth.

∙ 11y agoAn object moving under the influence of gravity only and no other outside forces
has a constant acceleration of 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2, directed down.
That's the acceleration of the ball, from the moment it leaves your hand until the
moment it hits something, regardless of what direction you throw it.
The speed changes. The acceleration doesn't, regardless of the angle, speed, trajectory,
color, temperature, cost, size, mass, political affiliation, or weight of the ball.

falling, it must have downward velocity. So there must be a point where upward
velocity becomes downward velocity, it must be the top of the path, and at that
point, the velocity must be zero.

When an object is tossed ... in any direction, up, down, sideways, or slanted ... its
acceleration is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 downward, from the time it leaves
your hand until it hits the ground.

What happens to a ball thrown straight down from a bridge would have acceleration of?
After being released, a ball thrown straight down from a bridge would have an acceleration of
If after an object is thrown no other fone and ads on it except gravity What are the vertical and horizontal components of its acceleration vector?
If the object is thrown upwards, the vertical acceleration is negative and the horizontal acceleration is zero.
What is the acceleration of a ball at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward?
zero
Acceleration of a rock at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward?
Any object moving under the influence of gravity only and no other outside forces has a constant acceleration of 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2, directed down.The speed changes. The acceleration doesn't, regardless of the angle, speed, trajectory, color, temperature, cost, size, mass, or weight of the falling object.
Is the acceleration the same on an object that is drop or when its thrown?
It is the same (neglecting air resistance).
What happens to a ball thrown straight down from a bridge would have acceleration of?
After being released, a ball thrown straight down from a bridge would have an acceleration of
Is acceleration greater when the object is thrown vertically or horizontally?
Acceleration is dependent on the initial velocity of how fast the object is leaving the projectile. The vertical acceleration is greater when the object is falling than when the object reaches the peak in height. However, if the object is thrown horizontally and there is no parabola in its shape then there is not as great of an acceleration.

What is the acceleration of a ball at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward?
zero
An object thrown upward has zero acceleration at the highest point?
No, the acceleration at the highest point is never 0.

It is the same (neglecting air resistance).
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.
How much work is done when an object is thrown upward?
mass of the object (times) gravitational acceleration (times) height the object reaches.
When A ball is thrown straight up from the ground. What way does its acceleration point at the top?
Its acceleration points straight down at all times after it's released.
Is it possible for an object to be accelerating even though it has stopped moving?
No. A nonzero acceleration means that the velocity is changing, so it can only have a 0 velocity at a single point in time, such as when a ball thrown in the air reaches its peak.
Can an object have a speed of 0 while it has an acceleration that is not 0?
Yes. Acceleration is independent of speed. A perfect example of an object with zero speed but nonzero acceleration is an object at the apex of being thrown upward. The entire time it is in the air it is accelerating downward. At its maximum height its speed is zero.
