The kinetic energy of the ball is lowest when the ball is at its highest point. At this point, the ball momentarily stops before it starts to fall back down, which means its velocity (and thus kinetic energy) is zero at the peak of its trajectory.
A person throws a ball up into the air, and the ball falls back toward Earth. At which point would the kinetic energy be the lowest?(1 point)
