# A ball is thrown straight up. What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point in its path?

A ball is thrown straight up. What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point in its path?

- **A.** \( v = 0 \), \( a = 0 \).
- **B.** \( v = 0 \), \( a = 9.8 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \) up.
- **C.** \( v = 0 \), \( a = 9.8 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \) down.
- **D.** \( v = 9.8 \) \( \text{m/s} \) up, \( a = 0 \).
- **E.** \( v = 9.8 \) \( \text{m/s} \) down, \( a = 0 \).
