Question

6 multiple choice 0.5 points
concept (from the readings example): a ball is thrown straight up and returns to the throwers hand. over the entire trip, the average velocity is 0. at what point is the instantaneous velocity equal to the average velocity?
at the moment it is caught (just before catching)
at the moment it leaves the hand
at every moment of the motion
at the top of the motion

Explanation:

Average velocity for the full trip is 0 because total displacement is 0 (starts and ends at the same position). Instantaneous velocity is 0 when the ball stops momentarily at the top of its trajectory, matching the average velocity.

Answer:

at the top of the motion
