rom the velocity vs. time graph(s), determine the ball's acceleration independently for each component of the motion as a function of time.  What is the ball's acceleration just after it is thrown and just before it is caught or lands?  What is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration at its highest point?  Is this value reasonable?

Question

I am doing a lab report for my physics class. The lab consists of throwing a ball upward and recording its movements. Please explain these next questions and how you got the answer. The graphs attached below are my data for the ball in the x and y direction.

From the velocity vs. time graph(s), determine the ball's acceleration independently for each component of the motion as a function of time.  What is the ball's acceleration just after it is thrown and just before it is caught or lands?  What is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration at its highest point?  Is this value reasonable?
