Really tricky question, physics problem?

This one kind of got me thinking a lot:

Doesn't the ball also have -9.8 m/s^2 of acceleration or is that not the acceleration of the ball but the force acting upon it?

An ball is thrown vertically upward. At the top of its flight, both the ball's velocity and acceleration are zero:
True
False
 
False, the top of the ball will begin to turn downward while the bottom is just stopping. Thus since the ball is changing direction, the acceleration = 0 is false.
