You actually know what happens because you surely have thrown balls vertically upward. Just close your eyes, remember that memory and describe it. That's all the problem is asking for.
Also, the word "peak", which surely you know what's the meaning of, is actually shouting what velocity the ball has in it.
So all you have to do for answering the question, is starting to think.
