  1. May 25, 2023 · Answer and Explanation: When an object is thrown vertically upward, its velocity decreases at a rate equal to the acceleration due to the earth’s gravity. The upward velocity gets reduced to zero momentarily and the object attains its highest position at that moment.

  3. A ball thrown straight upwards moves initially with decreasing upward velocity. What are the directions of the velocity and acceleration vectors during this part of the motion? Click the card to flip 👆. the velocity vector is upwards, the acceleration vector is downwards. The velocity is upwards since the ball is still moving upwards.

  4. What happens if the person on the cliff throws the rock straight down, instead of straight up? To explore this question, calculate the velocity of the rock when it is 5.10 m below the starting point, and has been thrown downward with an initial speed of 13.0 m/s.
