Assertion: When a ball is thrown upwards, at the highest point its velocity is zero.
Reason: When a ball moves upwards, at the highest point its acceleration is zero.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
When a body is thrown vertically upwards, at the highest point only velocity is zero because the acceleration due to gravitational force is acting downwards continuously and that is the reason for velocity being zero at the highest point.
At the maximum height velocity becomes zero and acceleration is acceleration due to gravity (g).
Assertion is true but the reason is false.
