Question

For an object thrown vertically upwards, velocity is ________ at highest point.

• A. zero
• B. half its initial velocity
• C. double its initial velocity
• D. infinite

Answer 1

The correct option is A zero

When a body is thrown vertically upwards, at the highest point only velocity is zero because the acceleration due to gravitational force is acting downward continuously and that is the reason for velocity being zero at the highest point.
Hence velocity is zero because of the acceleration.
