The correct answer to the question is D). At the top of its flight.

EXPLANATION:

When a  ball is thrown into air, the only force except air resistance that affects the motion of the ball is the force of gravity which pulls the body in vertically  downward direction.

When the ball was thrown, it has kinetic energy only. As the ball went up, its kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

Due to the gravity,the velocity of the ball is decreasing each time. At a certain time, the ball will reach at its maximum height where its velocity will be completely zero. At that time whole of its kinetic energy must have converted into potential energy due to the law of conservation of energy.

Hence, the kinetic energy is least at the top of its flight.

Your answer is

D.) At The Top Of Its Flight

because once something gets to the top, or let's say the peak of its journey, it has gathered the most energy


Hope this Helps! :)

Verizon [17]
Using kinematic equation s=ut + 1/2 at^2(u = initial velocity=0, s=120m, t= 6.32s), 120 = 0(t) + 1/2 a(6.32)^2. a = 120x2/(6.32)^2 = 6m/s^2.
