Step-by-Step Analysis

To analyze the motion, imagine the ball following the curved path from Low up to Medium and then Top, as shown. Option 1: The statement that the ball’s speed is fastest at the Low position. In projectile motion, the speed is highest where the ball has the greatest kinetic energy, which occurs at the lowest point of the trajectory where gravitational potential energy is minima......Login to view full explanation
