A body is thrown vertically upwards and then falls back on the ground. Its potential energy is maximum

on the ground

at the maximum height

during the return journey

both on the ground and at the maximum height

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

We know that
Potential energy= m g h
Hence potential energy is maximum at the maximum height.
