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)

Gravitational potential energy is maximum at the highest point.

Answer 2

At highest point
$Vy​=0$
$Vx​=ux​=ucosθ$
$Ug​=mgh$, it is maximum at $H_{max}$​

The Correct Option is (D): Gravitational potential energy is maximum at the highest point.
