If it is moving upwards when I let it go, then it begins to slow down due to this acceleration. Assuming I am 6 feet tall, and when I try to get the ball into the basket, I actually push on the basketball from when it is 5 feet in the air, until it is 7 feet in the air, how much constant acceleration would I have to give to the ball for it to get to 11 feet high - enough to go over the rim of the basket. You can change these numbers, but you get the idea. Of course, as soon as I let go of a ball in the air, it begins its freefall downward acceleration.
