A baseball 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?
(think of the Kobe question on your free fall worksheet)
midway on the way up
at the top of its path
the instant is leaves the catchers hand
the instant before it arrives in the catchers mitt
