 A ball thrown straight up has zero velocity at its highest point. Is the ball in equilibrium at this point? Why or why not?

A ball thrown straight up has zero velocity at its highest point instantly. The ball is not in equilibrium at this point because it is always acted upon by the force of gravity and has acceleration. If it had gained zero acceleration at its highest point, it would have been in equilibrium.
