Solution

The correct option is C

E2


Let m be mass of the ball. If v is its speed of projection, its kinetic energy is
E=12mv2
At the highest point, the velocity of the particle is v=v cos θ=v cos 45=v2. Therefore its kinetic energy at this point is
E=12mv2=12m(v2)2=12×12mv2=E2
Hence, the correct choice is (c).
