Question
**Physics Problem: Vertical Motion of a Ball**

A person throws a ball straight upward from his chest level. Five seconds later, he catches the ball above his head. **Consider upward is positive.** Use the sign +, 0, or - to fill in the blanks.

1. The initial velocity is a _________ value.
2. The final velocity is a _________ value.
3. The displacement is a _________ value.
4. The acceleration due to gravity is a _________ value.
5. The velocity at the highest point is a _________ value.

**Instructions:**
- Analyze the motion of the ball considering the upward direction as positive.
- Remember that gravity acts downward, affecting the ball's velocity and acceleration.
- Fill in the blanks using the appropriate sign to represent each physical quantity.
