Question

A person throws a ball up into the air, and the ball falls back toward earth.

At which point would the kinetic energy be the lowest?
1. at a point when the ball is still rising
2. at a point before the ball hits the ground
3. when the ball is at its highest point
4. when the ball leaves the person's hand

Answer 1

3. When the ball is at its highest point

Answer 2

3. When the ball is at its highest point.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ball is at the highest point, it is not moving as fast and is in potential energy then when it falls again, it is kinetic energy.
