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) Responses at a point before the ball hits the ground at a point before the ball hits the ground when the ball is at its highest point when the ball is at its highest point at a point when the ball is still rising at a point when the ball is still rising when the ball leaves the person’s hand when the ball leaves the person’s hand

The kinetic energy of the ball is lowest at the highest point of its trajectory. At this point, the ball's velocity is momentarily zero before it starts to fall back down. Thus, the correct response is:

when the ball is at its highest point.
