A ball is thrown upward with a velocity of 19.6 m/s. What is its velocity after 3.00 s?
A) 9.80 m/s up
B) zero
C) 19.6 down
D) 9.80 m/s down

After 3.00 s, the ball will have reached its maximum height and will start to fall downwards. At this point, its velocity will be equal in magnitude to the initial velocity but in the opposite direction due to gravity. Therefore, the velocity after 3.00 s will be 9.80 m/s downwards.
