A ball is thrown into the air with some initial velocity. It rises to a maximum height, turns around and falls to the Earth. Which statement describes the acceleration vector during this motion? Assume a coordinate system where up is positive.

On the Moon, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s2 and there is no atmospheric drag. During Apollo 14, Alan Shepherd hit a golf ball on the Moon. If he hit the ball at an angle of 20° with an initial velocity of 35 m/s, find the total time the ball was above the ground. Assume it landed at the same height as it was hit.
