Find the true statement from the following a) b) Velocity is maximum and acceleration is zero at the highest point c) Velocity is maximum and acceleration is 𝑔 downwards at its highest point d) Velocity is zero at the highest point and maximum height reached is 𝑢 2 /2𝑔
(A) Both velocity and acceleration are zero at its highest point
(B) Velocity is maximum and acceleration is zero at the highest point
(C) Velocity is maximum and acceleration is 𝑔 downwards at its highest point
(D) Velocity is zero at the highest point and maximum height reached is \dfrac{u^{2}}{2g}
Answer : option (D)
