For a body projected at an angle with the horizontal from the ground, choose the correct statement.

The vertical component of momentum is maximum at the highest point.

The Kinetic Energy (K.E.) is zero at the highest point of projectile motion.

The horizontal component of velocity is zero at the highest point.

Gravitational potential energy is maximum at the highest point.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

At highest point height is maximum and vertical component of velocity is zero.

So momentum is zero.

At highest point horizontal component of velocity will not be zero but vertical component of velocity is equal to zero and because of this K.E. will not be equal to zero.

Gravitational potential energy is maximum at highest point and equal to

Therefore the correct option is .
