Question

Which component of velocity of a projectile is zero at maximum height?

Open in App

Solution

The vertical velocity component of a projectile is 0 at a maximum height due to action of acceleration due to gravity
which acts in the direction opposite to that of the velocity and reduces its values constantly.When the object reaches a maximum height its velocity becomes 0 and starts falling in downward direction along the direction of acceleration due to gravity.
