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 when the ball is at its highest point when the ball is at its highest point when the ball leaves the person’s hand when the ball leaves the person’s hand at a point when the ball is still rising at a point when the ball is still rising at a point before the ball hits the ground/ options are in answer

Answer 1

The kinetic energy of the ball is lowest at its highest point. At that moment, the ball has stopped rising and is about to start falling, so its velocity is zero, resulting in zero kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct response is:

at its highest point
