When a ball is thrown vertically upward,what is the velocity of the ball at the highest point?

A ) 10 m/s

B ) 20 m/s

C ) 30 m/ s

D ) Zero ✅


Explanation:

📚 Explanation for Competitive Exams:

  • When a ball is thrown vertically upward, it slows down due to the force of gravity.
  • At the highest point, the ball momentarily stops before starting to fall back down.
  • Therefore, at that exact highest point, its velocity becomes zero.
  • 🔁 After reaching the top, the ball begins to accelerate downward due to gravity.
  • 🔹 Symbol of Force of Gravity:

  • F or Fg (where F stands for Force, and g indicates gravity)
  • Formula:
  • F=m×g
    Where:
    • 🔹F = Force of gravity (in Newtons, N)
    • 🔹m = Mass of the object (in kg)
    • 🔹g = Acceleration due to gravity
  • 🔹Symbol: F or Fg
  • 🔹Value of g: 9.8 m/s²
  • 🔹Unit of Force: Newton (N).
