At the highest point in its trajectory, the ball's acceleration is zero but its velocity is not zero.
<h3>What's the velocity of the ball at the highest point of the trajectory?</h3>
- At the highest point, the ball doesn't go more high. So its vertical velocity is zero.
- However, the ball moves horizontal, so its horizontal component of velocity is non - zero i.e. u×cosθ.
- u= initial velocity, θ= angle of projection
<h3>What's the acceleration of the ball at the highest point of projectile?</h3>
- During the whole projectile motion, the earth exerts the gravitational force with a acceleration of gravity along vertical direction.
- But as there's no acceleration along vertical direction, so the acceleration along vertical direction is zero.
Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration is zero and velocity is non-zero at the highest point projectile motion.
