Correct Answer: At the topmost position
Solution : The correct answer is At the topmost position.
When an object reaches the highest point, its kinetic energy is zero and its potential energy is maximum. When a ball is thrown upwards, its velocity decreases as it ascends due to gravity's deceleration. As a result, its kinetic energy decreases as it goes upward. However, as it goes upward, its potential energy increases.
