Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:

If the object is thrown upward, at the highest position the velocity is zero and when it comes down its final velocity will also be zero.

During upward motion, the velocity starts decreasing and finally ended with zero after reaching the maximum height, and then the velocity will start increasing the negative value. So the velocity is minimum during downward motion and maximum value during the upward motion.

The acceleration decreases during the upward motion and increases during the downward motion. but the magnitude of the acceleration remains constant.
