Question

A particle is thrown upward with some kinetic energy. Then, what is the characteristic of particle kinetic energy at the highest point?

• A. Kinetic energy is maximum.
• B. Kinetic energy gets absorbed by the air.
• C. Totally kinetic energy gets convert into potential energy.
• D. Kinetic energy remains the same.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Totally kinetic energy gets convert into potential energy.

As the particle goes upward, its velocity decreases and height increases. Therefore kinetic energy diminishes as it goes up and gets converted into potential energy.
