Owen throws a baseball straight upward. We can ignore air resistance. What is true about the acceleration and velocity of the ball on its way up?

The acceleration of the ball is constant and equal to -9.81 m/s² (acting downwards)

The velocity of the ball reduces at a constant rate with time on its way up

Explanation:

The motion of the ball upwards is described by the following equation;

v = u - g × t

v² = u² - 2 × g × s

Where;

v = The final velocity of the ball

u = The initial velocity of the ball

g = The acceleration due to gravity = Constant

s = The height of the bass after a given time, t

t = The time in which the ball is rising

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball = The acceleration due to gravity  (Constant) = -9.81 m/s²↓

From v = u - g × t = u - 9.81 × t , the velocity of the ball reduces at a constant rate with time on its way up.
