A tennis ball is thrown upward at an angle from point A. It follows a parabolic trajectory and hits the ground at point D. At the instant shown, the ball is at point B. Point C represents the highest position of the ball above the ground.

Which statement is true concerning the ball when it is at C, the highest point in its trajectory?

A

The ball's velocity and acceleration are both zero.

B

The ball's velocity is perpendicular to its acceleration.

C

The ball's velocity is not zero, but its acceleration is zero.

D

The ball's velocity is zero, but its acceleration is not zero.
