A projectile fired from the ground follows a parabolic path. The speed of the projectile is minimum at the top of its path.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

` T.E. = P. E. + K.E.`
` T.E. = constant`
At `P` , `K.E`. is minimum and `P.E.` is maximum . Since `K.E`. is minimum speed is also minimum .
