A projectile is launched, its velocity is maximum at:
Correct answer: A. Point of projection
- A. Point of projection
- B. Highest point
- C. Between launching and highest point
- D. All points
Explanation
Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle (a projectile ) that is thrown near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. As there is no force acting horizontally, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant throughout the flight.Diagram:

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
