A body is thrown vertically upwards. At the highest point of its trajectory:
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
At maximum height, vertical velocity becomes zero momentarily. However, acceleration due to gravity (g) acts downward throughout the motion, including at the peak. Thus acceleration is g ≈ 9.8 m/s² downward, not zero. Memory tip: 'Peak of projectile: v=0, a=g downward'. This conceptual question tests understanding of motion under gravity, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always distinguish velocity (which changes) from acceleration (constant in free fall near Earth). Misconception that acceleration is zero at peak is a common trap.
