Question

Select the right answer. If a ball is thrown straight upward then when it reaches its highest position, its

(A) potential energy is zero and kinetic energy is also zero.
(B) potential energy is maximum and kinetic energy is zero.
(C) potential energy is zero and kinetic energy is maximum.
(D) potential energy is equal to kinetic energy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

c) potential energy is zero and kinetic energy is maximum.

Explanation:

Throughout the motion of an object thrown up, regardless of the speed of object, the only force acting on the ball is mg downwards. Thus the acceleration of the object is g downwards always.
