Q. A body is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity $u.$ Find the true statement from the following
A) Both velocity and acceleration are zero at its highest point
B) Velocity is maximum and acceleration is zero at the highest point
C) Velocity is maximum and acceleration is $g$ downwards at its highest point
D) Velocity is zero at the highest point and maximum height reached is $u^{2}/2g$
Explanation
(d) At highest point $v = 0\ $and $H_{\max} = \frac{u^{2}}{2g}$
