A frog leaps vertically into the air and encounters no appreciable air
resistance. Which statement about the frog's motion is correct?
A) On the way up its acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 directed upwards,
and on the way down its acceleration is 9.8m/s^2 directed
upwards.
B) On the way up and the way down its acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2
directed downwards, and at the highest point its acceleration is
zero.
C) On the way up, on the way down, and at the highest point its
acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 directed downwards.
D) At the highest point of the motion it reverses the direction of its
acceleration.
E) We do not have enough information to know. -
correct answer ✅C) On the way up, on the way down, and at the
highest point its acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 directed downwards.
