Answer:
The velocity at the top of its path will be zero (0)
Explanation:
We can solve this problem or particular situation using the principle of energy conservation.
Which tells us that energy is transformed from kinetic energy to potential energy and vice versa. A reference point should be considered at which the potential energy is zero, and at this point the initial velocity of 40 [m/s] is printed to the ball.
The potential energy is determined by:
The kinetic energy is determined by:
This will be the maximum path but, its velocity at this point will be zero. Because now all the kinetic energy has been transformed in potential energy.
