Physics Question Help?
I'm not entirely sure if what I have is right...
What is the acceleration of a projectile when it reaches its highest point? What is its acceleration just before and just after reaching this point? Explain.

Acceleration due to gravity on earth relatively close to the surface is [b]always[/b] -9.81m/s^2, so the answer to all of those would be -9.81m/s^2
There's no acceleration in the horizontal direction, only in the vertical direction. (hint: it's always constant)
Is this high school physics and simple projective motion?
If so, think of what could be accelerating in the system.
