When an object is shot up into the air the only force acting on it is gravity while neglecting wind. As the gravity is acting on the object it keeps decelerating till its velocity becomes 0 after which it can go no further. The maximum height of the object is at this point.
So, at its maximum height the velocity of the puck will be zero.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle and the Roman Catholic Church also believed the sun revolved around the earth. In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus<span> published a new theory stating the earth revolves around the sun. This is known as the Copernican theory.</span>
