When a ball is thrown into the air, what is its velocity at the highest point?

  1. Maximum

  2. Zero

  3. Equal to the acceleration due to gravity

  4. Equal to its kinetic energy

The correct answer is: Zero

At the highest point, the ball has stopped moving and is momentarily at rest. This means that its velocity is zero, making option B the correct answer. Option A, maximum velocity, would be an incorrect answer as the ball's velocity decreases as it moves upwards. Similarly, option C is incorrect as the velocity is not equal to the acceleration due to gravity, but rather zero at the highest point. Option D is also incorrect as kinetic energy is a measure of the ball's motion and not its velocity. Therefore, the most accurate answer is option B.
