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

The correct Answer is:
1
True TE=PE+KE
TE=constant
At P, KE is minimum and PE is maximum.
Since KE is minimum, velocity is also minimum at P, the topmost point.
