Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the acceleration of the ball in the air

The acceleration of the ball in the air is due to gravity, which is \( g = -9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed downward.

Step 2: Determine the velocity of the ball at the highest point

At the highest point of its trajectory, the velocity of the ball is zero because it momentarily stops before starting to fall back down. Therefore, \( v_{\text{top}} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \).

Step 3: Derive the expression for the height of the ball as a function of time

The height \( h(t) \) of the ball as a function of time \( t \) can be expressed using the kinematic equation: \[ h(t) = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \] where \( v_i \) is the initial velocity and \( a \) is the acceleration.

Final Answer

  1. The acceleration of the ball in the air is \( -9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).
  2. The velocity of the ball at the highest point is \( 0 \, \text{m/s} \).
  3. The height of the ball as a function of time is \( h(t) = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \).
