Question

For a body projected at an angle with the horizontal from the ground, choose the correct statement.

• A. The Kinetic Energy (K.E.) is zero at the highest point of projectile motion.
• B. The horizontal component of velocity is zero at the highest point.
• C. The vertical component of momentum is maximum at the highest point.
• D. Gravitational potential energy is maximum at the highest point.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

At highest point
$V _{ y }=0$
$ V _{ x }= u _{ x }= u \cos \theta$
$U _{ g }= mgh ,$ it is maximum at $ H _{\max } $
