A body is thrown vertically upwards. Its velocity keeps on decreasing. What happens to its kinetic energy as its velocity becomes zero ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to analyze the motion of a body thrown vertically upwards and how its kinetic energy changes as it rises. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion**: When a body is thrown vertically upwards, it moves against the force of gravity. As it rises, the gravitational force acts downwards, causing the body to decelerate. **Hint**: Remember that the force of gravity always acts downward, opposing the motion of the body going upwards. ...
