A player throws a ball upwards with an initial speed of 29.4 m s-1
What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point of its motion ?


At maximum height, velocity of the ball becomes zero.

Acceleration due to gravity at a given place is constant and acts on the ball at all points (including the highest point) with a constant value i.e., 9.8 m/s

A player throws a ball upwards with an initial speed of 29.4 m s-1.

(a) What is the direction of acceleration during the upward motion of the ball ?

Read each statement carefully and state if it is true or false:

A particle in one dimensional motion:

(a) with zero speed at an instant may have non-zero acceleration at that instant;

(b) with zero speed may have non-zero velocity;

(c) with constant speed must have zero acceleration;

(d) with positive value of acceleration must be speeding up.


Look at the graphs (a) to (d) carefully and state, with reasons, which of these cannot possibly represent one-dimensional motion of a particle.


State True or False: 
 
A particle in one-dimensional motion 


A.

(a) with zero speed at an instant may have non-zero acceleration at that instant
