Motion
An object is thrown vertically upward from the surface of the earth in the absence of air resistance.
Note: this can be accomplished, for example, in an experimental facility from which the atmosphere has been removed.
1. What is the acceleration of the object on its way up?
2. What is the acceleration of the object on its way down?
3. If the object is thrown vertically, it will stop at the highest point in its motion. What is the acceleration of the object at the moment that it stops?
