The graph below represents the velocity of a ball thrown straight up by a strong pitcher as a function of time. In the first part of the graph ending at A, the ball is accelerated to 39.2 m/s in a time of 0.20 s. After the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand, it experiences only the acceleration due to gravity until it is caught in a glove and brought to rest in the hand of the catcher.
