This image is a really simple illustration of what happens when you throw an object straight up. In class, we did a lot of detailed exercises, but this picture simplifies the motion and shows what is happening in a the "big picture". Sometimes it can be helpful to look at images like this to take a step back and make sure that you understand what is happening outside of a particular problem.
In the image, the initial velocity is 44 m/s however when it reaches the peak of its path, its velocity will be 0 m/s. The force of gravity (g) is always 9.8 m/s squared.
