Question

A ball is thrown vertically upward and then comes back down. During the ball's flight up and down, its velocity and acceleration vectors are?

Answer 1

During the ball's flight up its velocity and acceleration vectors are in opposite direction and during the ball's flight down its velocity and acceleration vectors are in same direction.

• The velocity vector is always in the direction of motion of the object. So, during the ball's flight up its velocity vector is in the upward direction (90°) and during the ball's flight down its velocity vector is in the downward direction (270°).
• When there is a positive acceleration in the object the acceleration vector is in the direction of motion of the object. When there is a negative acceleration in the object the acceleration vector is in the opposite direction of motion of the object. So, during the ball's flight up its acceleration vector is in the downward direction (270°) and during the ball's flight down its acceleration vector is in the upward direction (90°).

Velocity vector is the rate of change of position of an object. Acceleration vector is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Therefore, during the ball's flight up its velocity and acceleration vectors are in opposite direction and during the ball's flight down its velocity and acceleration vectors are in same direction.
