9. A
ball collides with a wall at a speed of 20 m/s, its instantaneous decrease in speed causes it to
rebound at a completely opposite direction at a speed of 14 m/s with unknown acceleration.
Which of the following states a correct claim about its acceleration?

discontinuity at the instant when the ball hit the wall, as it shifted from the negative side to the
positive side.
(D)a(t), the function of acceleration based on time, increased from negative to positive throughout
the motion, and it was zero when the ball hit the wall.
