Answer:

The velocity of the ball when it reaches its highest point is 0

Explanation:

The velocity of the ball when it reaches its highest point is 0

Once the ball is tossed into the air, as it goes up, the initial velocity with which it was thrown, reduces, as the motion of the ball is hindered by several forces such as gravity and air resistance. This slows down the velocity of the ball, up until it reaches a point, where the upwards velocity of the ball becomes zero. at this point, the ball begins to fall back to the ground.
