Review Concept Simulation 2.2 before answering this question. An experimental vehicle slows down and comes to a halt with an acceleration whose magnitude is 9.80 m/s2. After reversing direction in a negligible amount of time, the vehicle speeds up with an acceleration of 9.80 m/s2. Other than being horizontal, how is this motion different, if at all, from the motion of a ball that is thrown straight upward, comes to a halt, and falls back to earth?
