Question

When an object is thrown vertically upward, on reaching the highest point, the value of acceleration due to gravity will be



a)same as at the equator

b)Is more than at the equator

c)zero

d)Is less than at the equator

​

Answer 1

Answer:  a)same as at the equator

Explanation:   When a body is thrown vertically upwards, at the highest point only velocity is zero because the acceleration due to gravitational force is acting downward continuously and that is the reason for velocity being zero at the highest point, hence velocity is zero because of the acceleration.
