Q. A particle reaches its highest point when it has covered exactly one half of its horizontal range. The corresponding point on the displacement-time graph is characterized by:

Motion in a Plane

Solution:

At the highest point of projectile motion, the tangent drawn is parallel to x-axis. Hence, slope at this point is zero. Moreover, the curve is convex upwards, hence curvature is positive at this point.
