1 answer
The correct answer to finish the statement is B) maximum, zero.
At the highest point in its trajectory, the soccer ball has maximum potential energy because it is at its highest altitude, and its kinetic energy is zero at that exact moment since it is momentarily at rest before changing direction to fall back down.
