      A ball is thrown vertically upward. Assume air resistance is negligible.

      Which of the following graphs shows how the vertical component of the velocity vv varies with time t from when the ball is thrown to just before it hits the ground?

      Four velocity-time graphs A-D for a ball thrown vertically upward.
A: Graph starts at positive v and decreases linearly
B: Graph is at a constant negative v for entire time
C: Graph starts at negative v, gradient increases until 0, then gradient decreases after 0
D: Graph is at a constant positive v for half the time, then is at a constant negative v for the other half
