A stone is projected with kinetic energy E, making an angle θ with the horizontal. When it reaches a highest point, its kinetic energy is (a) E² sin ²θ (b) E sin θ (c) E cos ²θ (d) E cos θ

Answer: (c). At the highest point only the horizontal velocity vcos θ remains. KEtop = 1/2m v²cos ²θ = Ecos ²θ So the answer is (c) Ecos ²θ.
