Questions: A moving object "reaches its maximum height." Which of the following statements is true? The time is equal to zero. Its velocity is equal to zero. Its displacement is equal to zero. Its acceleration is equal to zero.

Solution Steps

When a moving object reaches its maximum height, it momentarily stops moving upwards before it starts to fall back down.

At the maximum height, the object's vertical velocity is zero because it is changing direction from upward to downward.

The time at maximum height is not zero. The displacement is not zero, as the object has moved from its initial position. The acceleration due to gravity is still acting on the object, so it is not zero.
