Question

A 3-kg ball is thrown with a speed of 10 m/s at an unknown angle above the horizontal. The ball attains a maximum height of 1.7 m before striking the ground. If air resistance is negligible, what is the value of the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is at an absolute max when the potential energy is 0. At the ball's highest point, at its most absolute highest point, the velocity of the ball is 0, making KE = 0 and PE the only energy the ball has. So if this isn't a trick question, the wording is off.
