Abaseball catcher throws a ball vertically upward and catches it in the same spot as it returns to the mitt. at what point in the ball's path does it experience zero velocity and nonzero acceleration at the same time? a. midway on the way upb. at the top of its pathc. the instant it leaves the catcher's handd. the instant before it arrives in the catcher's mitt

Correct Answer is b. At the Top of its Path

Explanation:

Since, the ball is thrown vertically upwards, the moment ball reaches the maximum height its velocity becomes zero at that instant only.

Also, as the ball is thrown under the action of gravity, its acceleration would remain equal to acceleration due to gravity which is g = 9.8 m/s2. For upward movement g = -9.8 m/s2 and for downward movement g = 9.8 m/s2.

Note:

Velocity is defined as change in speed with respect to time.

Acceleration is defined as change in velocity with respect to time.

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.
