Question

Is acceleration zero at the highest point?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

The on-the-spot velocity of any projectile at its top is zero. Because gravity affords the identical acceleration to the ball at the manner up (slowing it down) as at the manner down (rushing it up), the time to attain most altitude is similar to the time to go back to its release position.

Hence, acceleration is zero at the highest point.
