What is the acceleration of a ball at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward? Explain whether or not your answer is zero by using the equation a = F/m as a guide to your thinking. (Interesting, almost everyone gets the wrong answer unless they choose F to be mg and let Newton’s second law guide their thinking! Use this question if you’re helping someone make the distinction between speed and acceleration.)
